Thank you Rory Satran for telling my story ♥️ (LINK IN BIO) interview for @i_d @vice magazine ~ @rorysat ...She began taking pictures seriously again, portraits of young women from the area. For her series "Southern Cultures, Southern Sites" at a gallery connected to the Virginia Museum of Fine Art, she photographed young women of color at historic, crumbling sites of the Confederacy, wearing vintage clothing. There is a very real debate at the moment about who can tell black stories, but Leeta strove to make her project an exchange, spending time with her subjects over long periods. She says, "I was very conscious of the history of documentary photography in the south about struggle and poverty, so I created a role for each girl and told them, You are the embodiment of beauty, grace, dignity, and female empowerment."

Sheers, for no apparent reason my camera wouldn’t shoot after I’d taken a few stills. Full battery, empty card, nothing. Except a few shots of this room.
