Mika was sexually molested a couple years back by her science teacher. Only after other girls in her class felt threatened by him did she come out with it. She's still struggling from it and finds solace in writing. She decided to allow us to photograph and write about her as part of the healing process. I think she wanted to come to terms with it and feel comfortable and accepting of what happened. Here's an excerpt from one of her poems she showed us:
"In my dreams
That teacher didn't run his wrinkly hands down my back
He didn't have the chance to test my faith
I never stayed in that classroom
In my dreams"
That teacher didn't run his wrinkly hands down my back
He didn't have the chance to test my faith
I never stayed in that classroom
In my dreams"
Since I don't have a light kit of my own, I used one light we have available for check out. I made a makeshift snoot out of a Cheez-It box.
