As the aim of this project focused on diverse representation of women of all backgrounds, we wanted to make sure we were also respectfully yet powerfully including a group of women that could not join us that day. Together we, of all ages stand in solidarity to show our support for Women's Rights. We acknowledge our past as we move towards a collective future inclusive of women of color, transgender women & men, women with disabilities & women from all ages, religious faiths and backgrounds. We wear yellow and gold as a nod to the colors of the early American feminist movements, while expressing our hope and desires for the movement today. Different cities nationwide and around the world have joined the #UnityinColormovement and we're proud to share the Washington D.C. Edition! Washington, D.C. has always been a powerful platform for women's advancement. Many of the country's important grassroots and social justice movements that gain traction elsewhere have culminated on these streets. As the nation's capital, Washington, D.C. is where movements, marches and social momentum begins and ends. As women representing all backgrounds, religions, abilities, languages, races and age, we believe that creating a culture of inclusion is fundamental to cultivating sisterhood. The need for creating and sustaining space for intersectional feminism is more important now than ever. We need to bring women together to uplift them, highlight their brilliance, their beauty, and everything they bring to our communities. When empowered women come together and stand with and for each other, the sparks of social change are inevitable and necessary for a radiant future.

It's a personification of the characteristics each of these women display so beautifully. Each woman radiates love, kindness, intelligence, drive for perfection, maternal-like warmth, and softness...all quintessential qualities of the Virgo. There is a lack of South Asian representation when it comes to visualization and imagery of the zodiac calendar and this is our attempt to reclaim the space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e69e44e4b0c8e23ff69986/1544034509199-Y0DV2PO1OZDYSXEILNPY/IMG_4992.jpg PHOTOGRAPHY - Baadshahi Masjid Lahore, Pakistan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e69e44e4b0c8e23ff69986/1579626718530-4HUKOBPMTHMSRYIFKM64/IMG_9576.jpg PHOTOGRAPHY - FOOD STYLING AND PHOTOGRAPHY FOR EPICURE CAFE https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e69e44e4b0c8e23ff69986/1712256285903-CILLQJRJOVSWEZIUBUTX/IMG_8815.jpg PHOTOGRAPHY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e69e44e4b0c8e23ff69986/1712257507131-KBHIGWK8EM0N1RHG2IDJ/IMG_7147.jpg PHOTOGRAPHY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e69e44e4b0c8e23ff69986/1544047545515-CLUA253IKKZJ042YR1WT/IMG_2248-2.jpg PHOTOGRAPHY https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e69e44e4b0c8e23ff69986/1425953407962-AO2XSSIRZOFJTAAK6NLV/Zaira.png PHOTOGRAPHY http://sennaahmad.com/about daily 0.75 2020-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e69e44e4b0c8e23ff69986/1579624154651-9EGRO6GKBD7LU165AGO5/IMG_6204.jpg ABOUT - Hi!

I broke up the process into 6 parts to make it feel less scary and arduous and included a progress bar for users to track themselves. I also chose to have questions show up one at a time so that users can focus on the question at hand rather than altogether to ensure accurate results and ease of use. Font choices, colors and size are intentionally bold and playful for ease. I wanted the experience of taking this test to be fun rather than “exam-like”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/53e69e44e4b0c8e23ff69986/1533552916464-HSNHPDB456IXE43616OZ/resultspage portfolio - Myers Briggs RESULTS AND PROFILE PAGE // Here, the user can see their MBTI personality type.
