There was a time we didn’t think we’d survive.
A time when our names were replaced with numbers. When our bodies weren’t our own. When silence kept us alive—and shame kept us quiet.
We are survivors of human trafficking - that sentence still hurts to say.
It’s also why Grace by Griselda exists.
We met because we had the same trafficker.
Two strangers carrying the weight of invisible chains.
We had both made it out—barely—but we didn’t know what came next.
We were free, but not whole.
Healing felt out of reach, sometimes it still does.
The world doesn’t hand you a new life after trauma. You have to build it yourself.
In one of those early conversations, we said,
“What if we could create something for us—for women like us? What if freedom didn’t have to stop here?”
Griselda was born from that question.
This brand is more than a business.
It’s a lifeline—for us, and for every woman still stuck in silence.
Every product we sell comes from women-led businesses or companies committed to helping survivors rise.
Every order helps fund relocation, trauma therapy, housing, and the kind of long-term support we wish we had from the start.
This is for the girl who’s still out there, thinking no one sees her.
This is for the woman trying to rebuild with nothing but fear and hope in her pocket.
This is for every survivor who has been told to stay small, stay quiet, stay broken.
You don’t have to.
Griselda is our way of saying:
You are not forgotten. You are not alone. And you are not what happened to you.
Today, we are still healing—because healing isn’t a finish line, it’s a lifelong unfolding.
We have days that are heavy, and days that are full of light.
We still flinch at certain smells, sounds, or memories but we also laugh more now.
We sleep without fear.
We wake up without feeling anxious over how the day will go.
We’re learning what it means to feel safe in our own skin.
Building Griselda has helped us reclaim our power, piece by piece.
It’s given our past a purpose & it’s given us hope—not just for ourselves, but for every survivor still finding her way.
Thank you—for standing with us.
For shopping with intention.
For being the kind of person who believes in second chances (or more)
and in women who rise from ashes.
With all the courage we have,
Clara & Rebecca
Survivors. Founders. Sisters.

There are still days when I feel fragile. When certain memories sneak in uninvited.
I’ve learned that healing doesn’t mean erasing the past—it means learning how to live beyond it.
For the first time in a long time, I feel safe. I wake up in a home that’s mine, where silence isn’t threatening, it’s peaceful. I’m learning how to be gentle with myself. I’m learning joy again—slowly, quietly.
Griselda has become part of my healing. It gives me a way to turn everything I went through into something that helps someone else. That feels like freedom to me.
If you’re reading this and you’re still in the middle of your story, please know: there’s no timeline for healing. You don’t have to be “strong” every day. You just have to keep choosing yourself—even in the smallest ways.
I’m so glad you’re here.

I used to think survival was the end goal. But now I know: survival is just the beginning.
I came to America alone, full of hope but with no one to protect me. I didn’t know my rights. And I became a target. Traffickers saw my fear and my silence—and they used it. But they didn’t win.
I didn’t get here by accident. I fought. I bled. I rebuilt from the ground up. And I’m still standing—louder, stronger, and more unapologetic than ever.
That’s what Griselda is all about: giving women the tools, the resources, and the community to rewrite their story—on their own terms.
To every woman who thinks she can’t make it out: You can. I’ve been there—in the dark, in the fear, in the silence. And when you find your way out, we’ll be right here—cheering you on.
