LUCIA PADOR

Humility listens and learns from others. It’s knowing that you didn’t get here by yourself but by the people who walked the journey before you and beside you. To my sister. To my mom. To my aunts. To my grandmothers. To my great-grandmothers. To all the women who paved a clear path for me to walk on, I carry your legacy within me. From Vietnam to the States. Thank you for giving my life purpose. The years and decades may separate us, and all of your stories of love, struggles, and triumphs - I will never know. But I see, hear, and feel you because your blood runs through me. Every single strand of my hair, the shape of my lips, the color of my eyes, the warmth in my hands, the curves of my hips, have shaped me into the woman that I am. It’s only because of you, I am here. __ Photo @jensosa Makeup @makeupbyashleytani Hair @beautycravebyjennmau Creative Direction @luciapador #internationalwomensday #iwd2019 #risingtidesociety #communityovercompetition
