BEAUTY, EMPOWERED - A series celebrating diversity, individuality, strength and resilience. This was a fun collaboration and reminds us that people can surprise us. The words on the image were taken from a short written questionnaire and are the subject own handwriting.

Meet Quiana!

“I'm Quiana, a childhood education major at BMCC, I also run an e-mag called Albinism Beauty Magazine to spread awareness and normalize the condition that I myself have. I'm passionate about art, sharing knowledge (hence the education path), roller skating, and music. I may be legally blind but it doesn't stop me from living life to the fullest.”
