What If You Wore the Same Dress Every Day?
Picture a sixteen-year-old girl in suburban Florida, staring at a black dress hanging in her closet. Not because it's her favorite outfit, but because it represents something far bigger than fashion-27 million people trapped in modern slavery. What began as a teenager's audacious experiment became a year-long journey that raised over $8,000 for anti-trafficking organizations and transformed her understanding of freedom, worth, and what it means to truly live liberated. Sometimes the most radical act isn't changing the world overnight, but showing up in the same dress, day after day, until people start asking why. Threading a Singer sewing machine on a humid Florida evening, Bethany wrestles with buttonholes too small and buttons too large. Her hair escapes its bun-Florida humidity never cooperates-and frustration builds with each failed attempt. This isn't just any sewing project; it's the dress she'll wear for 366 days straight to protest human trafficking. The inspiration came from a woman named Elaini who wore one dress for 100 days to raise $50,000 for orphans. But Bethany's vision connects to something darker: the 27 million people enslaved worldwide, someone trafficked every 30 seconds, with heartbreakingly few ever rescued. One story haunted her-a rescued woman asking anti-trafficking advocate Christine Caine, "If what you're telling me about your God is true, then why didn't you come sooner?" That question demanded an answer. What could a suburban teenager possibly do about such overwhelming global suffering? The dress became her voice, her protest, her way of making the invisible visible through her everyday life.
