Wapsi Girl Info
So, do you think you have what it takes to be a Wapsi girl? The answer, most likely, is YES!
If you’re a regular reader of my comic Wapsi Square then you know that I do my best to show women as positive role models in my comic (all shapes and sizes), be it through body image or handling of life’s curve-balls. About a year ago, I had several of my female readers contribute to a new project called the “Wapsi Girl Project“. As often as I can, I feature a new positive female role model that exemplifies the spirit of the “Wapsi Girl” and that’s for each of the women spotlighted to define, as it‘s an open ended question. I have everyone that contributes write a few paragraphs to answer the question, “What is a Wapsi Girl?” and relate how these elements pertain to themselves or any story they might like to share.. In short, centering on real women with real problems that find creative solutions to keep going. My hope is this project will be something to inspire other women who may not yet realize this powerful potential inside of them.
What I would need from you would be:
1. A short write-up about what makes you a Wapsi Girl. As stated above, this is an open ended question but it’s mostly about how you handle life’s obstacles and overcome them or going against preconceived notions either about appearance or society’s molds.
2. One clear photo of you that you feel best represents you. If it is a professional photo, please make sure that it’s okay to publish it on another site.
3. A link to your site that you’d like to share with the readers.
Please let me know if you have any questions. ^_^ Send any additional questions and/or your completed write-up to my email:

I am a Wapsi Girl.
I know this without a doubt because I’m willing to know myself, to not hide from my demons, but to learn them, so that I can control them. And sure, sometimes they get away from me, but I’m in charge, and that is a good place to be.
No matter how hard life has been (and trust you me, I’ve had more then my fair share of trouble in my short life) I have never let it keep me down. I’m a 22 year old girl who was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. I live each day to the best of my ability, I’m proactive in my well being, knowing my illness, and raising awareness.
I am a Wapsi Girl because no matter what is going on under my skin, I am using everything in my life to help me heal.
Food is healing, dance is healing, dressing up and taking photos is healing, painting and playing and friends are healing.
So for every wound, and for every demon I have plaguing me, I have a way to help me conquer and to heal.
This, as far as I’m concerned, is what makes a Wapsi Girl. The simple knowledge that everything that hurts has a counterpart that heals. And all you need is determination, confidence and creative thinking to help you figure it out.
I love this! I will definitely pass this along, what a great message you are sending!!! AMAZING!! So happy to have met you. Keep up the great work and we will pass this along to our readers! xx
Very cool! I can’t wait to be a part of this. I will pass this around too!
