beautifulbizarremagazine:SUBMISSION SUNDAY“This work represents many thoughts, reflections and symbolic elements that identify me and that taught me how to be my own Goddess in the ‘Colombian Paradise’, a place full of great cultural richness and abundance of fauna and flora, but for the benefit of few.”La Rue, muralist, sculptor and illustrator, shares her thoughts about her birthplace Colombia. She shares further in the caption: “A place that has forced me (the hard way) to believe in myself to overcome the obstacles and inequalities that women face in a country plagued by violence and impunity where it is exhausting, difficult and dangerous to be a woman and even worse if you are born poor and black because these two factors define your visibility. This first chapter is not only to show you our struggles as women and blacks, and it is to show the pride I feel in empowering myself as my own Goddess, one of those who wears flip-flops and knows how to hold a machete to cut the grass, but who also knows how to defend their ideals and fight every day to overcome the difficulties of a system that was not designed for us to be successful. This work is for all women because we are pure pride in resilience, struggle and rebellion.”—Submission Sunday?!
