The Modern State

Resilience is a word that too many people use before life has ever made them understand what it means to become resilient. They turn it into a slogan because they have never had to crawl through the wreckage of their own life and still find a way to stand. Resilience is what is left when a devastating force strips you of your voice, your safety, your certainty, and yet you still push forward with nothing but the wreckage beneath you. I learned the concept of resilience by surviving what I never should have had to survive alone, and by watching people beg for help while the world moved too slowly or looked away completely. EFFECT CO. was built from the understanding of resilience, from what I endured, from what I witnessed, and from the pieces no one came to pick up and left behind. EFFECT CO. exists to be a voice for the voiceless, to stand with people when no one else will, and to make humanity impossible to ignore.
