Rochelle, 27

“I’m wearing a TOV shirt dress that has been painted on by myself, and accessorized with an army tactical vest & Lady Liberty head piece. Being an artist allows for me to showcase my feel appeal, aka wearing my heart on my sleeve which is refreshing. My current favorites are cool denim and leather pieces I can get my paint/art on & my jewelry, it’s the cherry on the cake for me.”

I shot the Kavanaugh protests this morning for NPR, and this is the photo that will always stick with me. I walked up to her after, needing her name for the photo but knowing it was a terrible time to ask. When I asked, she ignored me and said, “How are we going to find the strength to keep fighting?” I was speechless.
She said, “Are we going to be out here for another 30 years? I don’t have 30 years left.”
