march but plans to knit a dozen hats under the Pussyhat Project. Her hope is that the “hats will help marchers stay warm and make visual statements in support of women's rights, women's truths, and reclaiming our bodies, minds, and spirits from misogynistic rhetoric and oppression.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1481944687574-SIGAQ92FABWLZ7TPGM15/untitled-9-365.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Kelly of Belleville marches for volition over our own bodies, she marches for the future of her daughters, for social services, the working poor and those below the poverty line. “The thin layer of stability that millions of people in the country are standing on is cracking and it’s going to be very devastating when the cracks turn into holes and the people start falling through.” Like many of us she went through a period of grief after the election but remains galvanized and takes her husband’s advice to heart, “There’s always time for tears but use them to gain strength and to become resolved, to act.” When faced with her daughter’s fears for the future, she says “We have a life worth fighting for and that’s one of the reasons she’s coming with me to march in DC.”   https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1484008045338-BMSYNPEUR3XB3RQZER9H/Holly1.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Holly Graff of Montclair marches for our country’s marginalized, for the fearful and the oppressed. “We are all connected,” she states and if you’re marching for one then you’re marching for others. Closest to her heart are the rights of LGBTQ and her teen daughter who woke with tears on Nov 9, saying, “I don’t want to feel afraid because of who I am and who I love.” Holly marches as a message to future generations to let them know that the 2016 election was not the voice of America. Holly wants to be part of the “very strong voice of dissent that stood up and resisted.” She and her daughter will march together, standing on the right side of history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1484398504263-ZQJR12YLC1T6NGSP9HQ9/untitled-7-696.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits When the election results came in, Nadine Cauthen of Bloomfield felt physically sick. "I felt like my country had just told me that I don’t matter. That I as a black person, I as a woman, that I don’t matter." She found strength in soothing the fears of the Newark students she works with. Nadine taught them how the system works, reminded them of the importance of reading, of staying informed. The election has strengthened her drive to complete her degree, to get her certification, and to continue working with “those beautiful faces who are ready to learn.” She feels it is important to remember and to pass on experience. “When it all gets whitewashed and watered down in the history books we can say: I was there, I knitted the hat, I marched on the ground, I taught in the classroom, I remember the fear in the eyes of the five and nine year olds that should never have been there.” Nadine’s hope is that the drive and passion of the Women’s March movement carries on beyond January 21. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1484663683572-ZFBBL4IVLWEBYZU93W13/KateAlbright-400.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Despite the pro-Trump signs in many nearby yards, the election results came as a shock to Leigh Pennebaker of Middletown, fueling anxiety and concern for her kids and the world in which they'll be growing up. Still, she is encouraged that her sons and daughter see people taking action, becoming part of a resistance movement, speaking out. Although Leigh worries about the possibility of disruption against the Women’s March, one fear remains stronger: “a world where we can’t protest, we can’t get together, we can’t speak our truths, and we can’t criticize a president.” Leigh marches on Jan 21 as an example to her children that we can stand up for what is right and fight to change the direction of our country. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1484427434667-SIJS5SCH8M692ZOJWX1F/KateAlbright-450.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Artist Andrea Arroyo of Manhattan remembers the celebratory feeling of election night giving way to solemn despair and compares the silence of the city to that after 9/11. When she felt too anxious to get out of bed the next day, she did what she does best: organized through art. While still in pajamas she put out a call, inviting any and all to participate in her project, “Unnatural Election: Artists Respond to the 2016 US Presidential Election.” Access to the arts and culture along with free-thinking, diverse and creative people led her to fall in love with New York when she first arrived from Mexico City 30 years ago. Since then she continues to bring attention to victims of injustice through such art projects as “Flor de Tierra, Homage to the Women of Juarez” and “Tribute to the Disappeared.” She believes art can change the world. “When people see art it’s a very different reaction than when they are listening to a speech or going to a demonstration... It changes hearts and perceptions.” She looks forward to the Women’s March movement creating a much-needed community, widespread and inclusive. “This is not only about making our voices heard but about making change happen.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1484700428167-49HJRUM65FHI1QOONFQN/KateAlbright-504.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Selma Avdicevic of Montclair believes in an America where people can succeed regardless of how they pray, what they wear, or who they love. She bought the ticket to that American ideal when she first came to New York as a 20 year old refugee during the Bosnian War. As legal guardian to her sister, she survived by keeping her head down and working hard to pay the bills and to earn a college degree. Selma’s determination continues and she proudly puts herself in the ranks of Nasty Women. She believes that being an American involves caring for your community. “It’s doing what you can,” she says. Selma cooks the dishes she grew up with for refugee families, and volunteers for her PTA and local food pantries. It’s been difficult for her to reconcile with the election results but she remains resolute. “If you love something you fight for it. If you have something that you strongly believe in, you don’t walk away. You fight for it. You make it happen. And that’s what we’re going to be doing.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1484839588732-7QM6FCBW0X4YLS6U4V5Q/KateAlbright-877.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits - Candice Reflecting over the Obama years, Candice Narvaez of Nutley is most proud of gay rights. “A lot of these couples were together for 10, 20 years but they could finally actually get married. It was huge.” The election results angered but did not surprise her. Candice understands the perspectives of many Trump supporters. She grew up in a working class neighborhood on Staten Island. Teaching in the school closest to the Twin Towers, she witnessed the struggles of firemen, construction workers, and EMTs on 9/11 and after. She feels protective, knowing that Trump is not looking out for them. Candice, whose son’s medical issues prevent her from attending the Women’s March, stands strong for the working class and for the future of women’s rights, education, and health care. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1484916221632-6ECISUNWIA6IFDU0F7VD/KateAlbright-825.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits The family heirloom that sits in Jackie Yarmo’s kitchen reminds her of the values instilled in her by her parents. It is a hand painted “Peace Now” sign crafted by her father that hung under their “big picture window during the whole Vietnam War.” She will be marching with her daughter, Ella, who is part of a generation across college campuses speaking out and educating us all on such issues as gender identity. While Jackie was texting with her brothers on election night, surmising that their Socialist dad must be flipping in his grave, Ella and her brother were texting each other, “You ok?” They keep in touch daily and Ella is proud of her feminist brother, a high school junior. Jackie’s mom voted for Hillary before passing away, but Jackie feels the fog of grief lifting and hears that urgent call to march on Jan 21. She seeks hope and to march with people who “believe that the world doesn’t have to be a bigoted, closed place.” Most importantly, Jackie and Ella will march for the people who need their voices heard, but do not have the privilege to attend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1484985679837-CUKLO8LE7UEBXKTFJ4SI/KateAlbright-666.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Tiffany Loncar of Montclair felt prepared. It was within our grasp. Following the first African American presidency, the election of a woman as president would have a deep influence on her children's formative years. Tiffany recalls the sight of her children's feet alongside her mother’s in the voting booth and the happy tears in her mom’s eyes. “She worked her whole life modeling for me what women are capable of.” When election night was over she felt crushed breaking the news to her mom and children, angry at the women who failed to show up for Hillary. But she did not despair: “If we let things just go, we’ll continually and forever be considered second class, seen only through a lens that expects women to be the supporting gender.” Propelled to action, she formed a support group to focus on organizing buses from Montclair to attend the Women's March in DC. Her small group has organized an ever growing number of marchers (12 buses will be departing from Montclair alone) as well as organized a GoFundMe to cover bus fare for low-income and underrepresented residents in our area. Tiffany continues to wrestle with her disappointment and anger but she looks forward to marching in protest. She marches for and with her mother. She marches against misogyny, for the women past who have accomplished so much and for the women ahead who will continue to fight for equality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1485728543118-MTTZIJYHJJVDUBQE7C76/KateAlbright-854.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits   As a professional singer and actress, Marlaina Powell of Montclair considers herself thick-skinned. Through meeting resistance over career choice from friends and family, Marlaina has learned to defend herself and is proud to be part of a community of artists accustomed to speaking out on matters of social justice. Although Marlaina supports the Women’s March, she did not feel compelled to attend. “Black people are used to marching. We’ve been marching since the 50s. We’ve been doing this work and we’ve been doing it alone in large part.” She feels that we cannot “begin to deal with sexism, homophobia and religious discrimination until we begin to tackle racism.” Marlaina finds that even a progressive town like Montclair has big strides to make with integration. Diversity and the magnet school system is what drew Marlaina and her husband to Montclair 5 years ago. They were surprised to discover that their daughter was the only black girl in her class, and was 1 of only 8 black children in her grade at Watchung Elementary School. The lack of black peers along with little diversity in the staff (only 2 black teachers in the school), led them to switch their daughter to Hillside. It was crucial that her daughters’ role models included black educators. As a PTA member, Marlaina fights for racial equality by pushing such actions as diversity training for staff. “I want the teachers to see these little brown faces the same way they see the white faces. They all have potential. Just because one is born brown doesn’t mean he is inherently less intelligent.” Revealing the underbelly of racism starts with us, in our families and in our schools. She asks that we keep an open dialogue with our friends and family, that we have the uncomfortable conversations which lead to more understanding, and that we work to make friends from different races, modeling for our children to do the same. She pleads that we continue marching when racial injustice strikes another Tamir Rice. “What I want more than anything else: I want black boys, black children, to be viewed the same way that white children are.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1488643758942-UII50DZXFZC9YKQKUZ5K/KateAlbright-557.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Sarah Stibbe Damaskos of Montclair wasn’t completely surprised with the Trump victory. She recalls an October visit to Ohio where she met Trump supporters, and heard bits of their stories from a pastor. She laments that Democrats did not put more effort into understanding these voters and is disheartened by the lack of kindness that has come with this election. “The ugly crudeness is not how my parents raised me and not what I believe in.” Within her own family, the 2016 holiday season brought an even greater desire to give back to her community. In addition to her support of The Montclair Scholarship Fund, Sarah recently partnered with John Wisniewsk and Jon Bonestee of HackNCraftNJ to create Laptop Upcycle, dedicated to bringing technology to students in need. From the women and children she meets through Laptop Upcycle, she sees the extra efforts, missed recesses and general stress put upon families who lack a computer needed to complete daily Google Classroom assignments (used throughout middle and high school in Montclair). Sarah marches for these women and for all women. She wants their struggles known, their voices heard. “Women are the backbone of family life and why people don’t recognize that and support it is a complete mystery to me. Where is the downside?” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1488745742301-0J495RTRKMD32JADVMHA/KateAlbright-700.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Amy Freitag of Montclair is impressed with the wide reach of the Women’s March. As someone in a same-sex marriage and a mother to an adopted Latino immigrant, she feels the urgency to stand up for her family and to show up for our democracy. The recent election has revealed currents of intolerance in our society. Amy feels it when her 10 yr old son, adopted from Guatemala, asks, “Will he send me back?” and she senses his fear of not being welcome due to the color of his skin. She recounts how one evening her 8 yr old came downstairs prepared to leave with backpack, cherished possessions, and directions to Canada. A visiting friend reminded him, “But we need you here. We need you to be part of the resistance.” For Amy, taking part in the resistance includes remaining alert, not giving in to despair, and continuing to show up. “All I could think of is I’ve got this full time job, I have three kids, I don’t have time for this guy to be the president. But I’m going to have to make time.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1488851258603-H3MPPYHLAZ8W1931E5SA/KateAlbright-765.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Dhyana Kluth of Bloomfield admits that the current political climate can be scary but rather than feel terror she chooses to feel hope. She feels “this is part of a greater upheaval of change” and is excited at the chance to support the movement of the Women’s March. Its mission statement resonates with her deeply. In her work as a shaman, Dhyana helps people “heal core wounds caused by the imbalance of masculine energies in the patriarchal systems we were raised in and have lived with for generations.” On the 15th of January, she co-led a womb grief ritual, “We needed to grieve our rage in body, make space for birthing the new earth because if we’re tied too much to this anger, this rage and fear, we’re just being reactive.” On the 21st, Dhyana was ready to march. “We are taking part in a beautiful revolution. What a gift to be living during these crazy times.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1488989851322-TR7CXOVCKDDAPXES6VZX/KateAlbright-1485.jpg Women's March 2017 Portraits Coming from a world of activism, Teka-Lark Lo of Bloomfield has attended many protests in her time. In her experience if there was anything to fear besides the police, it would be aggression from male protesters. The Women’s March was the first time she felt completely safe at a protest. “It was such a good vibe. I was so happy.” She attributes the success of the March to it being women-organized and revels in its huge turnout, over 4 million marchers tallied in the US alone. Teka-Lark, a transplant from Los Angeles, is a big proponent of women supporting each other. She created her Black Grrrl Book Fair in response to the lack of women and diversity at the LA Art Print Fair in Los Angeles. The Black Grrrl Book Fair places feminism as its focus, and much like the Women’s March, calls to women from all walks of life to participate. Black Girl Book Fair takes place on June 3 in Montclair. “If you’re a woman show up!” https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/blog daily 0.75 2018-04-12 https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/blog/2018/4/12/emily monthly 0.5 2018-04-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1523554905425-SY93NB1TY5R8ZYY2QITR/AlbrightKate-7977.jpg Blog - Emily https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/blog/2018/4/10/max monthly 0.5 2018-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1523370054510-8VHABX1TGTNX9XXUH78O/AlbrightKate-7799.jpg Blog - Max https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/blog/2018/3/29/alissa monthly 0.5 2018-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1522342580089-427TBBTF1F3OT32IJWQ7/AlbrightKate-7635.jpg Blog - Alissa As a Montclair High senior, Alissa wants to leave highschool knowing that her younger cousins will be safe. She doesn’t want to worry if the next lockdown is real. Prompted by her mother to get past tears over the Parkland shooting and to act, Alissa prepared a speech for the National Walkout on March 14th. She spoke of her impatience with the slow pace of gun reform legislation. She called on her fellow students to join the movement of young and old, rich and poor. “By unifying ourselves, we, the people, become an unstoppable force. That is what makes a country strong! That is what makes a nation!” Activism runs deep in Alissa’s veins. She is the first vice president of the Youth Council of the Montclair Branch NAACP, a S.O.F.I.A member, and one of the leaders of The Million Man March in Montclair. Alissa credits her grandmother, her “pillar,” for her activism and for encouraging her to engage with the world. She is grateful to those who saw leadership qualities in her and pushed her to do better, in particular Ms. Malloy, a MHS registrar. “She called me a frog. I was hopping from this place to the next. My lily pad that I need to be on was in the middle and I used to always jump over it. She says I finally saw the lily pad and now I just need to leap for it.” Alissa turns 18 in April, is registered to vote, and looks forward to November. “Congress better watch out because – guess what – our voices WILL be heard.” https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/blog/2018/3/20/carrington monthly 0.5 2018-03-20 https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/blog/2018/3/17/0gb9ko030velkppmd2omvn2uf5xny1 monthly 0.5 2018-03-17 https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/blog/2018/3/13/ari monthly 0.5 2018-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1520959058025-3BQU6WMH0LYPKBXA9YP2/AlbrightKate-001.jpg Blog -

Corinna For Corinna, a Montclair High School senior, the news of the Parkland shooting felt close to home. A girl she once met is from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and witnessed the violence in her own classroom. Many of Corinna’s classmates know MSD students through a shared summer camp. Corinna, coming from a family where important issues are regularly discussed around the dinner table, naturally brought her thoughts, feelings, and tears home. Fighting the urge to “flee into the woods and wait for everything to burn to the ground,” she chose to channel her anger and sadness into resolve and action. Within a few days, she had created a local Students Demand Action group with the help of a friend as well as initiated conversations in classrooms, sparking students to work together as activists. Corinna helped to organize the upcoming March 14th walkout at MHS. She even called into WNYC’s The Brian Lehrer Show to share her perspective. With her three years experience as a Center for Social Justice student at MHS, Corinna feels like she’s been training for this moment. As she prepares for the walkout -- screening student speakers, staying in touch with administration and the media, and making posters -- Corinna keeps in mind the Newark March For Our Lives on March 24 and plans to fundraise and support the Newark students. On Wednesday, March 14th, Corinna and classmates will walk out. They will rally, they will honor the victims with flowers and posters, and they will speak out. On Thursday the work continues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1520901976397-G7SNQM8AOHA696T5BDXC/AlbrightKate-003+%281%29.jpg Youth Activists - Corinna For Corinna, a Montclair High School senior, the news of the Parkland shooting felt close to home.

He and other students have been in conversation with the administration throughout the planning and were asked not to make the walkout political. Ari says the walkout isn’t meant to be political but intends to honor all victims of gun violence. The Parkland shooting came at an emotional time for him, having just heard of a friend’s suicide -- the second friend to commit suicide in the past year. Knowing that nearly two thirds of gun deaths are suicides, Ari celebrates the portion of the Florida bill which helps keep guns out of the hands of those deemed a danger to themselves or others. He hopes that other states will follow suit. His advice to those interested in joining a movement is to read as much as you can and to educate yourself in order to be a good advocate. “Even though you're right to feel like something has to be done, if you don't know the facts and the history behind it you're just going to be shut down.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582066170296-2JADP8W3PYMFEXV2RQZD/AlbrightKate-7635.jpg Youth Activists - Alissa As a Montclair High senior, Alissa wants to leave highschool knowing that her younger cousins will be safe. She doesn’t want to worry if the next lockdown is real. Prompted by her mother to get past tears over the Parkland shooting and to act, Alissa prepared a speech for the National Walkout on March 14th. She spoke of her impatience with the slow pace of gun reform legislation. She called on her fellow students to join the movement of young and old, rich and poor. “By unifying ourselves, we, the people, become an unstoppable force. That is what makes a country strong! That is what makes a nation!” Activism runs deep in Alissa’s veins. She is the first vice president of the Youth Council of the Montclair Branch NAACP, a S.O.F.I.A member, and one of the leaders of The Million Man March in Montclair. Alissa credits her grandmother, her “pillar,” for her activism and for encouraging her to engage with the world. She is grateful to those who saw leadership qualities in her and pushed her to do better, in particular Ms. Malloy, a MHS registrar. “She called me a frog. I was hopping from this place to the next. My lily pad that I need to be on was in the middle and I used to always jump over it. She says I finally saw the lily pad and now I just need to leap for it.” Alissa turns 18 in April, is registered to vote, and looks forward to November. “Congress better watch out because – guess what – our voices WILL be heard.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1523554794332-8UZB9ISC4D0MTCFDTOK1/AlbrightKate-7977.jpg Youth Activists - Emily When Emily, a Montclair High senior, recalls the killing of Trayvon Martin and the start of the Black Lives Matter movement, she remembers worrying that her older brother would be similarly targeted. “I think that was when I really started to wake up...I became more worried because of what I looked like.” It was the Parkland students who encouraged Emily to take her first steps toward activism and led her to help organize the MHS walkout on March 14. Afterward, a teacher encouraged her further, “You guys did an amazing job with the walkout, but there are kids who have been trying to do things like this for years and they just haven't been getting attention from it.” Emily took that message to heart and brought it with her to St. James on the evening of March 24 where hundreds gathered to rally against gun violence. As a speaker, she pleaded with adults to listen. “Listen to the stories of children in Chicago that learn to tend bullet wounds. Listen to the children who Eric Garner left behind. Listen to the students who have been fighting for gun reform for years and have been silenced because of the color of their skin.” As Emily pushes forward in the movement, working to bridge communities, she responds to the rallying signs that state, “You are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.” Her message: we can’t do this alone – we need your support and activism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1523898753038-IXPFY4TTPWOBEU92M2V1/AlbrightKate-7841.jpg Youth Activists - Maggie It was when she heard Emma González’ speech that Maggie of Montclair High felt the Parkland school shooting was different and not destined to be forgotten. Inspired by the Florida teens’ activism and their message to reject the normalization of gun violence, Maggie volunteered to speak at the MHS National School Walkout where she called on fellow students to bridge the gap between words and action. “Today isn't about walking out of our classrooms, but rather walking towards a better future.”   She may only be a freshman but Maggie is no novice to leadership and activism. In 2017 she founded In Harmony Montclair, a youth group that aims to serve the community while also empowering teens – they organize and perform in benefit concerts for local charities. Her passion for performing led Maggie to write and direct for CODE RED: Playwrights Against Gun Violence. A series of short plays performed on March 23 at Luna Stage in West Orange, CODE RED gave attendees a platform to digest and discuss school shootings. “My scene is about a girl who's going to the psychologist because she lost her sister in a shooting and she is trying to figure out how to cope. I wanted to highlight some of the issues raised by kids from Parkland and other school shootings, but that have not received as much attention, such as how siblings are impacted by a shooting and how they recover.” The show will go on the road with another performance on April 29 at The West End Theatre in Manhattan, sponsored by Theatre 167. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582066300458-EJYJ27RTJ5D08USZ4D3L/untitled-7715-2.jpg Youth Activists March for our Lives, Newark, NJ 3/24/18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582066332781-4ZDES2RMQ8L43TW0OPMP/untitled-7713.jpg Youth Activists March for our Lives, Newark, NJ 3/24/18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1601033627896-07FM0R9ET5NQ3BZ97PFH/DSC_2449-5.jpg Youth Activists https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1601033944553-6154NF7YCQ5CUDKE5XPX/DSC_8449-2.jpg Youth Activists https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1601034089896-OMCWJ8Z2VAFN2EH4YIPO/DSC_4018-6.jpg Youth Activists https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/pre-prom daily 0.75 2020-09-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588369962-XH9HMT9RRHFDU2T2TJ1K/untitled-6615.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588369962-XH9HMT9RRHFDU2T2TJ1K/untitled-6615.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1601033022260-S1TAOOCOFSA03643DAUH/untitled-6488.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588372737-MCI9JQZVHF4XE3CQF0C8/untitled-6654.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588153000-XDCN9PJGFEEOBCK98SHT/AlbrightKate-6592.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588369975-0432KP72IGIH7O850V25/untitled-6610-2.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588363470-T8OTSYL905P3LOUKLVHG/untitled-6526.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588373142-PTV4X349SY9LAX6YV70F/untitled-6707.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588363791-CBKYYJ0RIYEVWRBTLB07/untitled-6533-2.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588371840-NM4USL1Y6CIGUR6JA293/untitled-6682.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588377848-I21YBHN7FP57JIISAWJ1/untitled-6722-2.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588380256-I578ZQMC2CL4IC6G4Z9M/untitled-6860-2.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588380776-BSAWUHE7CX9YJR0WNK7O/untitled-6846-2.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557588168384-2HJW095BFCSKLBI5KK1F/DSC_1889.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1601033030986-EC6I4VCJXM8JG07FDB59/untitled-6758-2.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://static1.squarespace.com/static/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/5cd4a019d9060d00011a524f/5cd4a0357817f73322da3427/1557438517468/ Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1557438548551-UTC90R9MZOKJWS2D0J7B/DSC_0239.jpg Pre-prom at Van Vleck https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/be-your-own-valentine-for-montclair-local daily 0.75 2020-02-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582056450989-68XLDNOIZJ9KC8P0N2A3/DSC_2183-2.jpg Be Your Own Valentine for Montclair Local - Stephen Stephen Powell is the chief programs and partnerships officer at the National CARES Mentoring Movement, an organization that trains African-American mentors. “Because I know that this is my calling and what I'm supposed to be doing on this planet, I get a lot of reward from it… I always remind myself, I can't pour from an empty cup.

But I also remember that if I don't take care of myself, I'm not going to be of good use to THIS community first, my family.” “When I think about my family, that's where I restore myself… Whether it's my daughter's running track--sometimes I run with her--walking, drawing with Simone… dating my wife.

It was such a validation of my making this step in this direction.” Cohn, who always loved to draw, needed permission to make more meaningful art. The permission came three years earlier when her marriage counselor suggested Cohn journal or draw to help process the ending of a long marriage. “I was able to listen to my muse without being judged because the therapist said, ‘try it.’” Not long after, Cohn visited an exhibit at the Whitney, where the word “impermanence” came to her mind. “It is a Buddhist concept that nothing is permanent and that we begin our lives as seeds, we become the tree, and in our wisdom we become the fruit of that tree...I realized I had crossed the threshold. I was now the fruit of the tree and that my life had given me so many lessons. Divorce was one chapter...And now I have the strength to create the images to tell that story.” Made for Montclair Local News. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582056409017-6OJJEFCBZCUUNOJI7YZ1/DSC_2236-4.jpg Be Your Own Valentine for Montclair Local - Jean Jean Savage was very thin growing up but didn’t realize she had an eating disorder until a couple of years ago. There were “long periods of time where I just tried to ignore my body and not honor it… It wasn't until I actually gained weight and actually became fat, which I don't think there's anything wrong with, that I realized that I hadn't been fat my whole life… It's really amazing to me that I've been able to love myself when even just a couple of years ago I didn't want to be here, you know?” For Savage, taking baths is a big part of her self-care. “You're doing something for yourself and for your own body and in a way you're not only honoring your body, but you're getting on that level with your body and saying, ‘Hey, I see you. We're in it together.’” Made for Montclair Local News. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582056217847-0WOPA5M9G1V5D97PKE6V/DSC_2758-2.jpg Be Your Own Valentine for Montclair Local - Justine As a new single mother and someone who works in child protective services, Justine Powell knows stress but has developed ways to cope with it. “I have this thing I do. It's called ‘the next best thing.’ And if I'm really stressed, I stop and I get very, very simple: literally, what is the next thing you need to do?” Powell asks herself this when working with a challenging client or caring for her daughter. “There are times with her where I give her a bath and then there's a trail of the diaper, the toys, this and that and I'm looking at it and I'm like, you really should go back and pick it up. I'm like, you know what? We're going to sit right now. We're going to sit for the next 10 minutes and this whole house can be an explosive mess and we're just going to sit because that's the next best thing we need to do to feel better and not feel overwhelmed.” Powell attributes her overall well-being to therapy and wishes there wasn’t a stigma around it. “If people value therapy, like they value going to the gym and maintaining their bodies, a lot of people will be a lot better off emotionally and mentally.” Made for Montclair Local News. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582056319938-D3VUC98I8W1VI6N4QX9H/DSC_2409-3.jpg Be Your Own Valentine for Montclair Local - Luc “Being a teenager and also on top of that being trans, hasn't been easy as far as self-love goes,” says Luc Nahas. Part of his self-care includes putting together a nice outfit, despite how little sleep he may have gotten or anxiety over a test. “It might not be like I'm dressed to the nines every day, but… it's me organizing myself physically so I could organize myself mentally.” For Nahas “being able to look in the mirror and see what I had always hoped I'd grow up to be” is an act of self-love. “We all have our own struggles with what we look like in our mind versus what we look like in the real world. Sometimes we just have to learn with time that you're going to find yourself and you may not look like every single thing you dream to be. I mean, I probably dreamed that I’d have a Zac Efron six pack, but we're not there. I'm happy and so for myself, that is the most handsome version of myself. I’m my authentic self.” Made for Montclair Local News. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582056369241-JULAFUIBOUXJXNAT9OFK/DSC_2372-3.jpg Be Your Own Valentine for Montclair Local - Dan “The only thing that really stresses me out is aging,” says Dan Epstein. “The way I relieve that stress is by being very busy, or busying myself with things that actually matter to me, like my volunteer work at Studio Montclair… I pass on the knowledge that other people gave me. It's important to me to mentor young people the way I was mentored. So that's part of it. And the other part is doing my own work… making the portraits that I would make because I believe they need to be made.” Made for Montclair Local News. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582056272822-X1V1D32XJ0Y1TRUJ13DH/DSC_2493-4.jpg Be Your Own Valentine for Montclair Local - Mary Mary Scully-Davison finds solace and joy through prayer. “There's one scripture that is my lifelong scripture that helps me when I'm struggling, in Romans 8:28 where it says all things work together for those who love God and those who are called according to his purpose so even though it's bad at a time there is a purpose for it. I kept that forefront in my mind when my husband was almost dying… When you start giving thanks or say thankful things it adds on. It's sort of contagious. One thing adds to another. Like sometimes me and my husband, we will say, ‘Oh we are so thankful to be here’... I think being thankful is key to staying healthy.” Made for Montclair Local News. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582056132197-59P9GSXY7G22G5O0QBQF/image-asset.jpeg Be Your Own Valentine for Montclair Local - Emily “I've been stuck in one job for a long time, and it's a comfortable place in that I get a paycheck and nobody's firing me. Nobody's putting pressure on me. But it's not going anywhere. It doesn't progress,” reflects Emily Tumbleson. She combats her frustrations by socializing, singing in a choir, meditation and photography. Lately, she’s discovered the joys of making meals for herself. “Cooking is actually a huge thing for me. It's usually how I show affection for other people… I think cooking touches upon the idea of patience. Taking the time to do that thing for myself brings me joy and satisfaction, and a sense of accomplishment. Having patience with myself has been important to be more okay with myself and be okay with taking the time and not necessarily needing the instant results that I so often seem to just need.” Made for Montclair Local News. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/584cb278414fb5fd29f7099a/1582056066526-RRBDZTB1TSURDTQI5KXC/image-asset.jpeg Be Your Own Valentine for Montclair Local - Maxine As the assistant caregiver to both of her parents, C. Maxine Rodney struggles with balance. “My fears are not having enough time to create or to continue creating the life that I desire and not being able to fully support them the way I need to and live my life.” Still, Rodney finds time to love herself, and finds setting boundaries important to that care. “If you're constantly pouring into other places, other people's and things, and they're never pouring into you, they're always taking from you. Those are relationships and entities that are out of balance and out of alignment with you.” “Being by bodies of water, especially for empaths is a great healing technique and a great grounding technique… Water is my thing.” If she can’t get to water, Rodney has a favorite tree at Brookdale Park she visits. “I came out here late one night. I had been praying and meditating, I was going through something and I was drawn to that tree. And every so often I go and all I do is just simply touch it.” Made for Montclair Local News. https://www.katealbrightphoto.net/black-lives-matter-in-montclair daily 0.75 2020-09-25
