"We are all stronger than we realise. Let's gather strength from each other and strength from within and stand up for what is right. The idea for this video came from a drawing session I had with my daughter Ellie. We printed out photos of ourselves and drew on them with coloured markers, which was super fun!! Thanks for listening! ~ Coco Love" Unbreakable - written by Coco Love Alcorn and Ian Sherwood - produced by Andy Sheppard |
