    About this ebook

    Lavoce: We Are People Too is the fashion freedom activist store, leader of the Fashion Resistance, bringer of true open-mindedness to the masses!

    Lavoce: We Are People Too helps people discriminated against because of their fashion orientation, and those affected by them, understand how to open their mind first so that the world will open their arms and the doors of employment to neglected cultures. What distinguishes us from other companies is our philosophy and perspective. Through our vision, we believe that we can change lives around the globe. We are your peace peddler partner in fighting the ego.

    This company will focus on products and services to niche markets, specifically for marginalized societies. The initial audience will include Goths, especially the Goth who doesn't go clubbing. Then the inventory will expand to serve gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgender/transsexual (GLBT); animé (Japanese animation); and other societies that focus on fashion freedom. The company's goal is to create an environment where customers, clients, and employees feel comfortable in showcasing their inner, or previously hidden, personality and culture to promote high self-esteem. In this, we sell a lifestyle of open-mindedness and faith in humanity. Purchases of products support the lifestyle.

    We want to revolutionize our country and world. Fashion and economic class have an almost symbiotic relationship. When we can eradicate fashion discrimination, we can make it easier to eradicate discrimination of race, gender, culture, etc. When we eradicate fashion discrimination, we can eradicate the need for money to separate people and the need for people to identify with and feel guilty or egotistical about their economic class. This is a tall order, but no one made their dreams come true by thinking small.

      A Closed Mind is the Worst Prison

      I envision a world where people see beyond what people wear. It is a world where customer service representatives ask, How may we help you open your mind? instead of saying, How may we help you? It is through this business that such a world can start to bloom.

      I created this to engage potential customers and employees.

      Before Reading This Book

      When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so the male will not be male and the female will not be female... then you will enter the Kingdom

      –The Gospel of Thomas 22

      Before you read this book, please ask yourself why you are reading it. If it's to be liked, to get attention, or to put up any sort of façade, then that calls for a different kind of book. If, however, you are reading it to honor friends, culture, history, mortality, and the sacred, then read on. If you see how the external matches the internal and the conscious application of this knowledge provides such alignment that one feels true joy, then read on. If you see how humans were put on this earth to express themselves fully, then read on. If you too believe that every human deserves a chance at equal employment no matter what culture they were raised in or that they honor, then please read on.

      Disclaimer

      Beware of your beliefs. The idea that money buys freedom is a myth. I'm not joking. The higher up your salary gets, the less freedom you have for self-expression. You must decide now if this is what you want and how far you're willing to compromise. If that is the case, then why is it still worth it? For our children to not have to decide between who they are and how they will survive, our generation must make a few compromises for that ideal to be realized. To impact future generations, we will need numbers on our side. We can only do this together by combining the fortitude of survivors with those who have means.

      About This Book

      I'm preparing them to keep a sense of self when they can't define themselves by their work because the likeliest scenario is that (unlike doctors and lawyers and bankers) they will not want to.

      —From Hand to Mouth p122 of 196

      The strangest irony about Goths, and the reason why I wrote this book, is as follows:

      Goths need clothing to indicate to the world who they are, but clothing costs money, and if they wear that type of clothing it could cost them their jobs. But not anymore!

      NCIS and the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo are examples of what Goths dream of when they dream—a world where people see as valuable contributors to their society, not ignored outcasts of the society, which contains their own family. I know of math teachers, administrative assistants, and government contractors that dream of being taken seriously as themselves by the people who make up much of their life, but they do not want to remove their sense of self to make that happen.

      Section 1 of this book is about the why and Section 2 is about the how. I would recommend reading in order instead of skipping directly to the section that interests you.

      This book has been five years in the making, and I hope you like it as much as I do.

      The Audience for This Book

      "Everyone, when they are young, knows what their Personal Legend is.

      At that point in their lives, everything is clear and everything is possible. They are not afraid to dream, and to yearn for everything they would like to see happen to them in their lives. But, as time passes, a mysterious force begins to convince them that it will be impossible for them to realize their Personal Legend."

      —Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

      Why I'm doing this is to give people a reason to live. I intend to write this book for people over the age of 30 who have experienced the type of fashion discrimination that has negatively affected them in their work life to a significant degree.

      Peter B. Kyne wrote that The go-getters of this world are under thirty years of age. That means that those over thirty years of age tend toward cynicism because of the hand they believe life dealt them. It's too easy to figuratively die in your 30s, and that's why the mantra in the ‘60s and ‘70s used to be Don't trust anyone over 30.

      I write to those Goths who have responsibilities: jobs, spouses, kids. I also write for those Goths who don't have jobs but also can’t continue living under their parents’ house. I am writing to the Goths who realize that they need to act like adults, but I am also writing to say that acting like an adult does not mean selling your soul.
