Coming Soon: The IRockMyScars’ Hotel Crewe Redevelopment Project

Our vision taking shape — soon to be a space for healing, connection, and creativity.

Since the inception of IRockMyScars, our team has continued to expand this powerful movement. By reaching individuals affected by both visible and invisible scars, our vision has only become clearer: we imagine a world mentally, emotionally, and physically healed from pain.

When COVID-19 impacted the globe, we had to pivot quickly. With the safety of our Rebels always the top priority, in-person events, support groups, and workshops were placed on hold. Many of our community members are immunocompromised, so we got creative. The Real Talk Rebels podcast podcast was born — giving space for authentic conversations about topics like dating after diagnosis or living with trauma. Each participant also received gifts such as Rebel Kits, and the Season one ended with rave reviews.

Even during that season of uncertainty, our Board of Directors pressed forward with our long-term vision. In 2020, we purchased a three-story building in Crewe, Virginia. The space is currently under renovation and development to become affordable housing units and a mixed-use community center — with areas for support groups, art and music workshops, fashion design, and other creative expressions.

The work is ongoing, but the vision is clear: a place where healing, housing, and community come together under one roof. The future is bright at IRockMyScars! Follow us on Instagram and join our mailing list to stay updated every step of the way.
