Toronto photographer Jessica Laforet is currently working on a photo series called This Woman I Know, which features self-identified women and the ways they support, empower and act as allies to one another in their professional and/or personal lives. (Clearly this series is right up the SDTC alley! *praise hands emoji*)

The folks who have been featured in this series empower women in various ways, including mentoring youth, writing articles about how our system can better handle sexual assault cases, openly speaking out against discrimination, sexism and misogyny or working on an ad campaign that creates awareness to help end rape culture.

Jessica is currently looking for more subjects to include in this series. If you are interested in being a part of it, contact her by email at jessicalaforetphoto@gmail.com and let her know some of the ways you show support to other women.

You can see more of the series here on Tumblr, Instagram and Facebook.
