#summeroffrida (at St. Louis)

As I prepare for my next installment, I'll be releasing more photos from these photoshoots and a wrap up blog post that I have in the works. #summeroffrida has been really fucking awesome, and I'm excited for what to come next. (at St. Louis)

"You deserve a lover who wants you disheveled, with everything and all the reasons that wake you up in haste and the demons that won't let you sleep. You deserve a lover who makes you feel safe, who can consume this world whole if he walks hand in hand with you; someone who believes that his embraces are a perfect match with your skin. You deserve a lover who wants to dance with you, who gets to paradise every time he looks into your eyes and never gets tired of studying your expressions. You deserve a lover who listens when you sing, who supports you when you feel shame and respects your freedom; who flies with you and isn't afraid to fall. You deserve a lover who takes away the lies and brings you hope, coffee, and poetry." -Frida Khalo #summeroffrida (at St. Louis)

i used to undermine the power i now channel through my womanhood. i now shiver at the thought of handing someone else the staff of which reverence is held. this is mine for the keeping, and anyone let inside is merely a guest; do not be mistaken. this is my castle. this is my power. this is my throne. // my #SummerOfFrida project has really brightened a light that already existed within myself, that I lost touch with for awhile. it's been really nice getting reacquainted. // prints & protest posters will be for sale soon.
