"Shooting myself for the first time felt like the first time I ever sent nudes. The first twenty photos I took, I felt weird and it made me come out of the zone. I used little tricks to help me concentrate, like visualising that I'm taking these photos for a soul mate. Or thought about my past experiences, which honestly accidentally threw me off my game. For the first part of the shoot, I lost motivation for something I really did feel passionate about. The second part was the best!! I felt fierce and that nothing was holding me back. I did get thrown off again a little bit when I ran out of ideas or if I hated some of the angles I took with the camera. After that real annoying, negative thought, I said to myself "Screw it!!". I had to understand that I have my flaws and if we were living in a perfect world, it'd all look as if it was photoshopped, so the depths on thought and outlook of insecurity and pretty much anything are endless. I felt sexually attracted to myself for the first time ever haha, and I also discovered within myself that I have fire burning out from bottom to top, my hair is a representation of that fire coming out. I also had in my mind that one day girls will be walking around topless out in public on hot days like men can, and it'll all be because of this project and group of women who are spreading awareness to make this day happen. I can imagine a world of acceptance if every female took this same opportunity."
