growing in lockdown : real stories by real women
Growing in Lockdown: Real Stories by Real Women (“GrL”) is an inspirational account of women around the globe who grew in strength, skill, self-belief, and spirit, both sensationally and soulfully, during the COVID-19 Pandemic lockdown. Read the stories here.
Lockdown shifted us, our thoughts, outlook, and the way we see ourselves. The growth achieved during lockdown is powerful, and I wanted to capture these learnings so we always have something to turn to and be mindful of. The messages of these women serve as stimulus for our souls as we step into and beyond the new normal.
This lockdown series is a collaboration with portrait and lifestyle photographer Hari Jr. @ The Street Shutter. The remote-styled photo shoot heightens the boundaries and boundaries placed by lockdown yet captures the spirit of the messages.
I am humbled by the support and confidence I received from these extraordinary women in letting me share their stories. In each one of them, you will see yourself: a mother, a friend, a sister, a confidant, a spouse, a dreamer, a doer, an adventurer. Most of all, you will see a person. My heartfelt gratitude to all participants who believed in the GrL series, who opened their hearts and inspired.
