illustration for GARRA, an incredible community-based organization that works to empower Brazilian immigrant women in NYC. 🇧🇷

when I think about what it means to have “GARRA”, I think about my mom and I think about my aunts—women who had the courage & resilience to pioneer, to start over in a new country. for me, to have GARRA is to have the capacity to bloom—against all odds, and while lifting up all of the women you meet along your way.

GARRA is a community that shares many necessary resources, and creates spaces for honest conversation on everything from mental health to leadership & entrepreneurship. the work they do is so important, & it was such a joy to express their beautiful mission through illustration!
