The BARE Experience:
After doing BARE I feel more beautiful. I am more willing to wear clothes that might not be acceptable for bigger girls to wear. I often go back to look at the pictures to get a little extra self confidence in the morning.
I was honored to win 2nd Place in the 2017 South Dakota Newspaper Association's Better Newspaper Contest for my Feature Series on Whiteclay.
"This series is powerful -- both the coverage of the ongoing battle to close the beer stores in Whiteclay and the accompanying photographs that support the writing nicely. Excellent coverage of a landmark story in this region." Judges Comments
I was also honored to win 1st Place for a photo series I did called 'A Hero Comes Home' which covered the return of a Lakota soldier's remains to Pine Ridge for burial.
"'A hero comes home'... photos capture the community's respect and tradition. Great job." Judges Comments
