Our Story
22 Strong was born from our founder Samantha Merrissa’s journey through loss, mental health struggles, and self-doubt.

After losing her sister Sydoney to depression at 22, Samantha found healing and strength in positive affirmations—transforming her mindset and rebuilding her confidence. Now, 22 Strong exists to share that light with you.
