For the #100YearAnniversary of #PlannedParenthood, I had the honour of co-creating an installation alongside artist #ZoëBuckman, on behalf of #ForFreedoms. This was the first time I took on the role of artist and I am so proud that it was for this incredible, and incredibly resilient, organization. It was a momentous night with both Shonda Rimes and Hillary Clinton being honoured for their contributions to protecting women's rights and the right to make choices for our own bodies. Being a part of this celebration by conceptualizing and directing this piece for For Freedoms expanded the meaning of the #LeaveSheAlone campaign to a whole new world. As women we continue to fight for autonomy over our space, our bodies, our freedom to be our fullest, most powerful selves. Planned Parenthood has shown us what this entails, and I hope we can learn from their example with #TogetherWI's efforts in the Caribbean. Thank you to all who made this installation happen! @plannedparenthood @forfreedoms @zoebuckman @michelinwoo @_jfgl @lionelbrock @totallywithit @togetherwi_ (at New York, New York)

This deserves a #Repost @siovanhope thank you! A beautiful photo of you and beautiful message for all #izatrini ・・・ On this International Women's Day, I want to reiterate the #LeaveSheAlone campaign started in #Trinidad this Carnival season. Rooted from a popular #Soca song by our beloved #CalypsoRose, on the premise of supporting women to be #free in our society without gender based harm and harassment. I am proud to display my beauty, my happiness, and my love for my culture whether in a fete, on the stage, on the streets of Trinidad or any street around the world. Us women are Queens when we march down the streets in either red sweaters, pink hats, or bikinis and feathers--- WE are in solidarity because we own our bodies, our space, our rights. We need for men to support us and take responsibility for their own actions to prevent violence against women, sexual harassment, and discrimination because we are One People above all. Women are love and life, and deserve nothing less than your endless appreciation and protection. Celebrate Women!! Sending ❤️ @calypsorosediva @anyaayoungchee for the #empowering message, and all the #Queens 👸🏻👸🏿👸🏾👸🏼👸🏽 marching every day. #leavemealone #leaveshealone #againstgenderbasedviolence #women #womensmarch #trinidad #trinidadcarnival2017 #awareness #internationalwomensday #selfworth #love #positivemessage #positivevibes #trinidadcarnival (at Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago)

I stand for the right of all women to be safe, and free to be. #LeaveMeAlone #LeaveSheAlone #LeaveWIAlone #TogetherWI #SaySomething #AgainstGenderBasedViolence #InternationalWomensDay #BeBoldForChange @togetherwi_ @saysomethingtt

Standing up for every woman's right to be free from harassment and violence seems so obvious to me. Yet there are people who have deep seated beliefs that they have the right to abuse us, use us, treat us as objects or simply do not believe we are equal in worth or value. My naïveté blinds me from grasping this way of thinking but I'm not naïve enough to pretend that all of us standing up for this cause are putting ourselves at risk to continue to be abused, emotionally, mentally and otherwise. Yet I remain committed to the work that keeps pushing towards a peaceful world, where neither men nor women are at risk of violence, and our ability to love inspire of our differences is paramount. #LeaveMeAlone #LeaveSheAlone #LeaveWIAlone #TogetherWI #SaySomething @togetherwi_
