The Impossible Poster: Inspire Thousands in PR

By Yamilin Rivera Santiago | Director of Communications and Development

This project, The Impossible Poster, aims to bring about transformative change by inspiring young girls across Puerto Rico and beyond to recognize their intrinsic value and the endless possibilities they can unlock to thrive in life. The initiative targets girls at a formative stage, emphasizing their voices and needs to ensure they grow up empowered and validated. This foundational step is essential to creating long-term societal change and advancing the mission of gender equity.

Funding Overview

  • Total Goal: $14,000
  • Remaining Amount: $3,945
  • Donors: 43
  • Monthly Donors: 5
  • Project Duration: 4 years

Challenge

Puerto Rico faces significant challenges related to women's safety and empowerment:

  • Femicide Rate: On average, one woman is killed every seven days.
  • Policy Challenges: Restrictions on reproductive rights and lack of systemic protections continue to hinder women's progress.
  • Cultural Environment: Girls grow up in a society where ideals that threaten their safety and well-being are often normalized.

Many young girls risk internalizing disempowering narratives without intervention, which can diminish their confidence, dreams, and potential. Both girls and their parents need tools and reinforcement to challenge these norms and foster a sense of agency and self-worth.

Solution

The Impossible Poster seeks to transform a young girl’s personal space—her room—into a sanctuary of inspiration and empowerment. Through the creation and distribution of visually compelling, wisdom-filled posters, this project will:

  • Collect advice and powerful messages from Puerto Rican women and girls nationwide.
  • Feature words and manifestos from women leaders to inspire young minds.
  • Serve as a daily reminder of strength, potential, and the collective support of Puerto Rican women.

This approach leverages the transformative power of simple, tangible items like posters to serve as both art and affirmations of empowerment in the lives of young girls.

Long-Term Impact

By equipping young girls and their parents with empowering messages:

  • We can challenge the pervasive apathy surrounding women’s rights and foster a new generation of advocates for equality and justice.
  • The initiative creates a ripple effect of empowerment, instilling confidence and agency in girls to fight for their dreams and stand against gender inequality.
  • Beyond Puerto Rico, this project could be a replicable model for female empowerment initiatives worldwide.

Each poster becomes more than a decorative item—it becomes a tool for inspiration, education, and cultural transformation.
