I took this photo at Ann Arbor’s Slutwalk 2011. After reading and rereading this sign for a few days, I still couldn’t get over the bravery of this girl to put herself and her fears on a sign like this. The image ended up feeling so powerful and meaningful to me, I used it for a photography assignment to critique rape culture. Critique today was an emotionally-charged, inspiring discussion about our patriarchal society, the change we strive to create, and the courage of this woman and of countless other survivors.
