I'm Damia, the founder of Happy Hugs, a clothing brand inspired by my journey with Tic Disorder, which I was diagnosed with as a child. Tics are sudden, involuntary movements and sounds. Mine include rapid blinking, nose scrunching, head shaking, and grunting. Thankfully, as a junior in high school, my tics have become almost unnoticeable with treatment and much love and patience from my family. However, I know how much this disorder can impact confidence, mental health, and physical well-being, and I've often wished for greater understanding of it. My love of art is reflected in the Happy Hugs hoodies I've made. All profits from the hoodie sales will be donated to the Tourette Association of America, an organization that supports further research and raises awareness of Tic Disorders. Join me in spreading the happiest hugs!
