I found my voice through art. My art reflects and represents current events in performing arts and politics.
Message
Inspired by the NYT's article by Setphanie Sinclair and Jeremiah Kipainoi. Stephanie is a photojournalist and the executive director of the nonprofit organization Too Young to Wed. The photo in the article was of Jacinta, 10, who wanted to become a teacher. She underwent genital cutting and was forced to marry in August, hence "Uncomfortable". It's so hard to imagine that this is happening today.
