My project turned out exactly as I had planned: an afternoon dedicated to uplifting the self-esteem of immigrant women. We had a makeup artist, a hairstylist, and myself as the photographer. Given our time and space constraints, we invited five women to participate after posting an invitation in a WhatsApp group with 31 members. It was a warm and joyful afternoon where the women enjoyed getting their hair and makeup done before being photographed. They saw themselves in a light they likely hadn’t experienced in a long time. We shared stories, laughter, and valuable connections. Through this experience, I learned the importance of women supporting each other—a true form of self-care. A memorable moment for me was at the end of the session, seeing everyone genuinely happy and feeling that they had a wonderful time.
