Part 6/11:

The Impact of Community and Support

Central to Charly's message is the importance of community. She founded “Beauty and Pain,” a movement inspired by her own journey with self-harm. The tattoo she bears symbolizes not just her past struggles, but also her commitment to healing and resilience. This initiative encourages others to find beauty in their pain, refusing the urge to harm themselves in moments of despair.

“My body is, in the least religious way possible, a temple,” she states, reinforcing the idea that nurturing oneself physically and emotionally should be a priority. For young people grappling with self-worth and identity, Charly’s message is profound—self-harm is never the answer, and community support is essential in navigating these dark moments.
