Sharee teaches and helps others. She teaches at Salem College, serves as the Holly Avenue Neighborhood Association President, and she is also an organizer. I wanted to capture her expressions of happiness.

Shirley is a truth-teller. She is a fierce voice for the Northeast Neighborhood Association. She says she gets in a lot of trouble with her mouth. It’s clear that it’s good trouble.She is a caretaker for her son Jacques. I asked her to think about the source of joy in her life, and to pose in ways she would like people to see her.
