Revolution is not a one time event
Author and feminist Audre Lorde once reminded us:
“Revolution is not a one time event.”
As a storyteller, I’ve found it increasingly important to document the ways that folks are healing and resisting, especially on the heels of turbulent times. The following is a compilation of photos I’ve taken over the last two years at protests in Seattle and New York City, with a special focus on the women and femmes of color who continue to show up and show themselves.

The raw emotion of the people in the pictures is truly astounding. I love seeing people unite like this for a cause they believe in!
I’ve never been to this form of event. Unity is strength.
Your photos tell a story that needs to be told each day. I really appreciate that. People need daily reminders and need to take daily action in order for change to actually happen.
Love your photos. I want to start getting more involved in community action. Photos are a great way to document them and to keep the discussion going.
These photos are so powerful! Kudos to you for standing up for our rights in a very real way!
I’ve always admired people that stood up for a cause, what they believe in. They how changes are made. The images are powerful
Revolution takes TIME! I think that people who aren’t involved don’t really understand the journey that one has to go on to have change come about. Especially when you’re fighting something that seems to have no type of weakness, but is bad for everything that it comes across.
These are pictures of hope, determination, action, and change. Great memories of the fight.
This is a much needed story. Black women shoulder the burden of the world. Yet we are treated less than. Great story telling.
Now is the time for triumph, victory, and embracing a warrior spirit. In the past, our ancestors survived much worse. We will overcome.
These are some very awesome pictures. It speaks and shows unity. Very powerful. Thanks for sharing.
So true! Revolution is a life style.
Those pictures are awesome.
