A Story of Strength and Self-Love
Following yet another surgery in my breast cancer journey, I felt an undeniable calling—every woman should have the choice to share her story. But how? That’s when The Boob Project was born.
A book of powerful imagery and deeply personal stories, The Boob Project captures the essence of women who have faced breast cancer. Through photography and written reflections, each woman not only tells her story but also rediscovers her strength, resilience, and beauty after a life-changing diagnosis.
This project is more than a collection of images; it’s a testament to the courage, grit, and newfound self-love that emerge from an experience often marked by fear, isolation, and uncertainty. No two journeys are the same—each woman navigates breast cancer in her own way, searching for answers and forging a path that feels right for her body, her family, and most importantly, herself.
My mission is to ensure that every woman's story is seen, heard, and honored. There is no single way to get through this. While the diagnosis may be universal, the journey is deeply personal. The Boob Project stands as a reminder that healing comes not just in survival, but in reclaiming the fierce, beautiful, and powerful self that was never truly lost.

"Through the lens of photography, women share their intimate and empowering stories of the breast cancer experience, connecting hearts, inspiring resilience, and illuminating the path from one woman to another.”
The book will give each woman a two-page centerfold. One page of the center fold will be the image(s) of the woman, and the other page will be a paragraph about her story, followed by answers to these five questions:
What do you believe you gained from this cancer experience?
What was the most significant moment or perspective that changed from having cancer?
What would it be if you could share a token of wisdom with someone else?
What is the most memorable thing someone did special for you to support you during your cancer experience?
What was the hardest thing you had to manage from something someone said or did, even not ill-intended, on your cancer journey
