Standing in Strength
By Laarni Mulvey
Women are often silenced, hesitant to take up space, voice their opinions, or fully embrace who they are. They’re judged by society, by each other, and by themselves in ways that can be downright soul-crushing. Too many women wouldn’t dream of speaking to a stranger the way they speak to themselves.
But then, there are women like Laarni Mulvey—bold, unapologetic, and dedicated to lifting other women up. As a Filipino powerlifter who has defied social stereotypes with her signature “vest top and power bun,” Laarni is on a mission to change the narrative. She’s curated “Standing in Strength,” an anthology that celebrates the resilience, beauty, and strength of women everywhere.
This book is a powerful collection of stories, written by real women who are making a tangible impact in the world. Each story serves as a reminder that we are not alone, and that our collective strength is greater than any force that seeks to hold us back. Through these voices, you’ll find inspiration to embrace who you are, unapologetically and fearlessly.
Now more than ever, it’s time to support each other and amplify the voices of those who are changing the world.
“Standing in Strength” is not just a book—it’s a movement.

Laarni had a vision of creating a book to emphasis and expand on her Standing In Strength movement and community of women in sport. Being a power builder and gaining her confidence and resilience through pushing through the mental barriers of ‘hitting the wall’ Laarni wanted to publish her own story and the stories of others. Dawn helped her source co-authors, develop the vision and help put systems and structures in place so Laarni could spring board her business.
