It's one thing when you are photographing others, but when you are exposing yourself and your insecurities, that's the biggest risk. That's always scary.

With any medium you are working in, technical skills obviously help, but your mind is what you really need to expand. That is how you create work. That's the role of the artist - to change the way you view things.

I used to hate my hair. Now I love it. I spend hours brushing my hair out after it dries. I love it when it's big.

I think anytime you can share images that make young women feel a sense of belonging when they might not be feeling their best or their strongest is so cool.

Girls are taught to be so afraid to take up any space, even with their own bodies, and hair is a part of that. I'm glad to not be a part of that!

You don't have to wait for anyone's approval to do things. You don't have to try to get a job and go through set steps before you start a career or start your life. That's what I want young girls to know - you can do anything you want. Just start.

With feminism social media just opened up its boundaries even more. Now all these different tribes of women can connect with each other, and also find each other if they're not living in the same city, or even if they are but they're not friends with the same people!

Even if I'm not so into the specific celebrities who are sharing images of themselves looking bad, I think it's an amazing contribution to the conversations about beauty that we have online.

I feel like fashion is becoming more inclusive, partly because the industry is finally getting that beauty exists in so many ways, and partly because thanks to Instagram, girls can create their own images, or remix images they're seeing in magazines and fashion shows, in ways that weren't possible before.

To me, the point of feminism is to be inclusive.
