A Journey Through Fashion, Identity, and Storytelling
✨ I am Açelya Güneş— a transgender woman shaped by the harsh realities of the Middle East.In a place where individuality was punished and freedom was a luxury, simply existing was a challenge.For years, I hid my identity — not out of shame, but to stay alive.My dreams had to remain in the shadows, waiting for a day when I could finally breathe freely.Still, I never stopped building.I created websites, projects, and social media pages that reached millions.Sometimes the economy broke me, sometimes politics crushed everything I built — but I kept standing.Giving up simply wasn’t in my nature.I have seen the darkest side of humanity, but I have also seen the power of words.When everything around me failed, my words became my only source of light.Through all of this, one dream kept me moving: America.A place where being yourself isn’t a battle but a right.A place where transgender women can live openly, work, create, and build a future without fear.I grew up imagining what it would feel like to walk through a city where my existence isn’t questioned — where I can simply live.Meanwhile, in my own country, trans women are insulted, excluded, denied opportunities, tortured, and erased — and society calls this “morality.”It’s not morality. It never has been.At one point, I even created a fundraising campaign, trying to escape this reality.My voice didn’t reach far enough.But even then, I didn’t stop.Piece by piece, quietly and stubbornly, I kept creating.Building a brand in this world is like putting your hand inside a lion’s mouth — it looks easy from afar, but once you try, you realize the truth.And yet… I’m still here.Still writing. Still creating.Still building the life I dreamed of.This blog is where my voice finally feels free.Where I turn pain into clarity, survival into expression, and dreams into something real.One day — hopefully soon — I will tell the rest of this story from a place of true freedom.
