For these past few weeks, I have been working on my last, and major assignment for my Documentary and News Production Class, and the final product has arrived!
The goal for the documentary, our teacher told us, was to film a documentary about something that was important to us; something that we found interesting and wanted to share. For the longest time I've wanted to do a documentary about Women's Beauty and Self Esteem. The idea started around last year, when my partner in crime, Toni, and another girl in my class, who has become a good friend of mine, Simone did an online show; The Best Damn Talk Show. For one of our episodes we really wanted to do a segment about what beauty really is.
The fascination however, has been with me ever since I was a child. Of course all girls worry about what they look like or are insecure about themselves at point or another, but I have always been obsessed with my appearance, to a point where I would not eat. I now realize how unhealthy that state of mind is and how common it is in women, so I wanted to do something to honor the fact that we are all beautiful.

The team that I was paired up with was thankfully Toni, who did an amazing job at helping me through this, because she knew the exact vision I had, and agreed with it, and a guy in my class, Ari.
The process was frustrating with people agreeing to be involved, but then cancelling, and getting the right footage to really express what we wanted to. All in all, I'm proud of what we have accomplished, and I hope that females can watch this and be inspired.
Stay Beautiful xo
