National Women's History Month - Frida Kahlo



Personally I love this woman's spirit. Our "mother of art" as we would aptly call her, Anita, sat us down and introduced us to miss Kahlo via a film rightfully named Frida. It stars Selma Hayek and it's a great watch, if you really want to know the essence of who Frida Kahlo was, watch that film. Frida was a strong woman, she is my personal inspiration, I watch her film, or even look at her artwork sometimes and I feel humbled because I realise some people have had it worse than me and it never held them back. 
Her story is a testament of living  life .... regardless.

National Women's History Month: Hatshepsut.

To keep with National women's History Month, this lady could be considered a matriarch for her kind. (you'll see what I mean when you read on). After reading you will somehow be inspired. If not, it's still an interesting read.

Side Note: isn't it such a beautiful painting, if she really did look like that, she was breathtaking.

National Women's History Month - MiniZineSeries



This is the second lady that has helped me out in incredible amounts, she takes her camera everywhere she goes and articulately captures her worldly travels. She is currently making strong moves and building her portfolio as a freelance photographer.

As amateur as my efforts may be, I've made a step towards something I never thought would seem so close to attaining. 
I was quite worried about the load I may have to carry, so I reached out to two very talented friends of mine, in order to help me bring my visions to life. Coming from an art background, I'm forever fortunate in being able to pull up on certain resources.
So without further ado, I'd like to introduce one of the ladies who has helped me make a healthy start. She is currently studying Fine Art and is focusing on photography as a medium ...

"Girl Power!"
A synonymous 90's slogan, forged by a cleche` yet incredibly influential girl group. Those words alone are an example of the self belief we should all have within us. I bet you're reminiscing just looking at them ... me too! haha
