4. How Thalia Gochez creates from a place of strength

On the podcast today, we're chatting with photographer Thalia Gochez. When I first came across Thalia work, I gasped. She creates portraits of the womxn in her neighborhood in a tender yet commanding way.  She arrests your attention to convey her love and respect for her subjects. A print of Thalia's work hangs proudly in my home. Each time I pass this image of two young women sitting on a stoop, I settle more securely into myself. I see more beauty in the world.  During our conversation, we talk about how Thalia centers herself in order to create work. We cover what she demands when taking a commission in order to create her special brand of magic.  This episode is a masterclass in how to step into your power.
