Every year, in honor of Osteogenesis Imperfecta Awareness week and Wishbone Day, I create a new design that goes onto a yellow t-shirt. The yellow is a color that represents the O.I. Community and the design comes from a slogan I came up with that represented how I was personally dealing with my O.I. (Type 1).
As I was going through my physical transformation, and even after that as I began transforming other aspects of my life, I felt that I was BREAKING BARRIERS, NOT BONES!
And so it was born!
The first shirt design was back in 2018 and I’ve created a variation on it each year since!
2022 is here and I decided to go BIG AND BOLD with it!

BBNB!
In addition to Breaking Barriers Not Bones, I added the following;
Osteogenesis Imperfecta (O.I.)
Spreading Awareness, Gaining Acceptance, and Sharing the Awesomeness!
The O.I. Community is diverse and I look forward to seeing YOU wearing your T-Shirt during O.I. Awareness Week and especially on Wishbone Day (May 6th each year)!
