“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

Why I will keep posting “selfies”
I feel so vein sometimes, posting “selfies.” I tease myself to make myself feel better about falling prey to the narcism of our generation. But then other times it makes perfect sense to me. I am just affirming the confidence I have in myself, in the beauty that we all do possess, during a time when the world thinks they can define beauty.
So really, every picture I take of myself and post online is like a “fuck off” to every other photo I see telling me I should look some other way.
And that ain’t nothing to be ashamed of.
