“I began my soccer journey at the age of 10, thanks to the guidance of a coach named Cherif Zein from Pasadena. While I wasn’t initially allowed to play, I was drawn to the game by watching my brother’s practices and games. My family’s strict rule, 'If I have to pay for you to play, you’re not playing,' became the spark that fueled my determination. It pushed me to work tirelessly, practicing for hours. From that moment forward, nothing could hold me back.” ~ Coach Mariela Gaitan To hear the rest of the story and others, join us on December 13th for our launch event at @secretwalls from 6-10pm. Featuring a photo exhibition, live muralists, custom screen printing, special guests and local food vendors. RSVP link in bio 🔗 We are world builders, breaking barriers and envisioning a better world – one where no one has to pay to play. Together, we can #makeanimpact Powered by you Hosted by @weareangelcity A special thank you to Coach Mariela & her team Photography by @bravocado._ Exhibition produced by @garrett_recker Sponsored by @duststudiosla and @samys_camera

EXPANDING VISION This year’s Women In Photography event was a reminder of why we do this. To gather together, be in community and empower one another. As women, we know this better than anyone. We all come up together. When the world gets heavy, keep pushing forward. Since the beginning of time, women have proven that beauty and pain often go hand in hand. We are resilient and powerful. Thank you to our amazing panelists for enlightening us, inspiring us and challenging us. As Lauren Chew said to her younger self, “Don’t change a thing. Believe in yourself.” Chloe Aftel @chloeaftel Brittany Bravo @bravocado._ Angella Choe @angellachoe Lauren Crew @laurencrew Emily Shur @emilyshur Siri Berting @siribertingphotgraphy Clarissa Garrett @bauierad Laura Kramer @lkramer214 Caitlin Ocegueda @caitthegrrreat Candice Lawler @candice_lawler Erin Kalkauski @erinbinsta And to the one and only @elisabethcaren for hand selecting every panelist and championing women in the photography industry.

What a night 🌹 We Dream in Color proved that art, community and joy are powerful forces for change. What an honor to host – a night rooted in courage, empathy, and community. The kind of love that shows up when no one’s getting paid, just moved by purpose. Huge thank you to @miikebuccii for spending hours after long workdays setting up every piece with care, and to @partimecowboyy for assisting with the lighting that transformed the room. To @ashestoemberscollective for the vision , @daniellesjourney for the soundtrack 🎶, @cpcolectivo for the delicious tacos 🌮, and every single person who donated their time and heart to make it happen ❤️ Special shoutout to our volunteers Zoran, EJ, Nayeli and Nalani for spending hours helping us set up, to our beer sponsor @open__beer for keeping spirits high 🍻 and to @flo_photographs for capturing it all 📸 And most importantly, thank you to all the artists who generously donated their work to the cause. As they say – it takes a village. Thank you for being a part of ours 🫶 Please continue to support the Palestinian families at @watermelonsisters24 and immigrant families here in LA by donating to @lasfotosproject . May what we built together keep spreading like a wildfire – art, empathy, resistance.
