There was a time when a selfie was called vanity.
As a formal model, I did them to demonstrate that I was real beyond the carefully-currated images.
Now I see it differently.
A selfie can be documentation.
Proof that you were here.
Proof that you existed in this moment.
Proof that you felt beautiful, or strong, or tired, or alive.
Women spend so much of their lives behind the camera, behind the scenes, behind the work, behind everyone else’s memories.
Sometimes a selfie is just a small way of saying,
“I was here too.”
Not for attention.
Not for approval.
But for memory.
For confidence.
For ownership of our own image and our own story.
So take the selfie.
Document your life.
Celebrate your face, your age, your body, your existence.
You don’t need a reason to be seen.
