POWER of WO/MAN!
After 36 years of International to Domestic travels as a Girl to now a Woman and living in E. Africa for a short time allowed me to understand the depths of being born a girl. On August I decided to capture (direct, produce, screen-write, choreograph) a reflection "Mirror Image" for ALL women around the world in what it means to Push Through challenging experiences, Stand Strong, change the narrative in what it means to be a Girl and cultivate the spirit in what it truly means to be a Woman.
