Women Creatives

"I just want people to feel comfortable! No other motives here."

"I want to create an inclusive community for women artists from around the globe who are pushing the boundaries of street photography in new and exciting directions. I’m interested in empowering women so that can tap into their creativity and feel confident about making work, whether they are professional or amateur photographers."

"By opening up about these unique experiences, women of color build esteem and lift the shame of hiding their true selves from the world. We’re able to be seen, and feel heard, and that is healing."

"There is so much about the female body that doesn’t get discussed enough and many women struggle and suffer in silence because of it."

We asked a few friends to tell us about how more time at home has impacted their daily beauty and skincare regimes. Their answers were surprising, conveniently low-maintenance, and refreshingly honest.

"It wasn’t that I woke up one morning and thought this is the book I needed to write, but then it was the only book I could write. I very quickly understood there was no way for me—as Alice Waters’s daughter—to exist in the public eye without acknowledging and writing that. Rather than feel encumbered by it, how can I talk about all the wonders of this relationship?"

"For me, learning new skills is a form of self-care. It's helping me cope...Take care of yourself in whatever way you need. Trust your gut, and do what you need to do in order to survive."

The advice, stories, and discussions—by women and for women—that we've been listening to lately and highly recommend.

Cannelle et Vanille, the latest book from Aran Goyoaga, is available today. We interviewed the author, food stylist and photographer about her one-woman process and the heart of her work.
