A Beaten Body Can’t Steal Your Soul: Renee Gunter
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Our second LA heroine to share her truth is former haute couture model, current urban organic farmer, and indestructible force of unconditional love Renee Gunter.
Renee’s a SURVIVOR (and the all caps are necessary) who was brutally abused starting at the age of two and then endured the loss of five of her babies as she fought her way to become a nurturing, supportive mom, not only to her two children, but to her hometown in South LA.
To see how Renee’s vigilant spirit soared in the face of sexual assault, death, and racism, watch her video.
Thank you to Daniela London, of the forthcoming clothing brand Choose Love, for providing us with the space to shoot all of our Los Angeles episodes.
Renee's video was edited by Andrea Cruz

I wish I knew the right words to express how these videos make me feel, but I don't so you'll just have to settle for... "I am SO GRATEFUL to you for making these videos". Thank you!
