"My work encourages people to love their bodies, love themselves, and love others. Sometimes, it is scary to take a chance on yourself or give yourself permission to be authentic, so I use my art to do just that. My art, my platform, my shop, it all shows up loudly for our community," she says.

Hannah hosts an annual event called "I f*@%ing love myself" which, she says, "brings people together to celebrate our individuality, and it's truly a magical and inspiring event." In 2023, Hannah gave a TEDx talk on the importance of discovering things that make you unique.

Hannah celebrates individuality, creativity, and self-love in everything she does, which is apparent in all her accomplishments. She has played a major role in making downtown Fargo a more vibrant and accepting space for all, but specifically the LGBTQ+ community. Read more about Hannah Stelter's journey.
