YOUR STORY IS MY STORY 

What message would you advocate in support of young woman?

Your Story is My Story is a Girls to Women project led by multi-media artists during in and out of school programming to promote youth making art as a form of activism.
​
Teaching artist & photojournalist, Colleen Cummins, lead an 8 week photography workshop through a social justice lens to Oxford Day Academy high school students from East Palo Alto. Taking inspiration from Michelle Obama's powerful speech to young girls, “The measure of any society is how it treats its women and girls,” in Your Story is My Story, participants identified topics that matter to them as young women. Topics such as identity, body image pressures, impacts of social media, the male gaze vs female gaze, and racism inspired their art. Through journaling, group discussions, photography, and other visual arts mediums, students created portraits that advocated for young women, and those who identify, to voice their stories and rights for equality, safety, and community support.

Photos are currently up at Cafe Zoe until the end of July. Check them out!​

Portraits from the Girls to Women 2015 summer program will be on display at Cafe Zoe in Menlo Park from February 16 - March 31, 2016.

Words of Wisdom is a showcase of student artwork from young people ages 6-19, who participated in an international photography exchange, where they explored the meaning of wisdom and the impact it has on each of their lives. Through photography, creative writing and book making, students created self-portraits and their own words of wisdom to share with each other, their community, and young people from different cultures. Words of Wisdom is a collaboration between nonprofit youth development organizations Girls to Women, Streetside Stories, and One Bird.
