Boxed In redefines very common words to make them more inclusive. The world is always changing, but the way certain words have been defined are not. I started thinking about words that impact society the most – family, parent, wealth, and perfect. When I read the definitions to these words, I was so surprised to see that so many people were excluded from them. These words need an update!

“Family” and “parent” are two are two of the biggest words, if not the biggest, when describing human dynamics. Contrary to their standard definitions, there are many different types of families and parents.

“Wealth” and “perfect,” these are two words many people use as a benchmark for social status or goal setting. Well in my redefined definitions of these words, you are all included.

Boxed In will help to bring a shift in perspective to make millions of you included. I desire to make people feel united through these updated definitions. I have used stories from my life, as well as the lives of my influential and inspiring family and friends to show you that you are included in these definitions. After reading Boxed In, I hope you feel empowered and start to see yourself differently.
