Love To Show IT Off, Hate When People Stare is a comprehensive collaborative project in which fourteen women, including myself, confront traumatic universal experiences. By creating a space for reflection, growth, and healing through mediated images and hand written text, this body of work proves that despite these negative experiences, you can regain lost confidence and empowerment by recognizing that you are never alone in your journey.
