It\u2019s what allows us to express how we feel and do what we love. It is freedom. It is a step closer to being equal to one another as it should be.<\/p>\n<p>Q: What does being a woman mean to you?<\/p>\n<p>A: To be a woman is to be brave. to be bold. to be strong. to be love. I believe it isn&#8217;t the easiest role, but one of the most beautiful ones.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Q: What do you bring to the table when it comes to women empowerment?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A: What I bring to the table in focus of woman empowerment is knowledge, ingenuity, and kindness. I feel that they play such a big role in woman empowerment for individuality. Knowledge binds us with ourselves and allows us to open our mind to know more than what we&#8217;ve been told to do or feel. Bringing out our own ingenuity that differentiates one from another. With kindness, we accept and love one another.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-782 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/one\/'><img width=\"474\" height=\"713\" src=\"\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/one-698x1050.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/one-698x1050.png 698w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/one-199x300.png 199w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/one-768x1155.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/one.png 936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/two\/'><img width=\"474\" height=\"709\" src=\"\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/two-702x1050.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/two-702x1050.png 702w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/two-201x300.png 201w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/two-768x1148.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/two.png 942w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/three\/'><img width=\"474\" height=\"712\" src=\"\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/three-699x1050.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/three-699x1050.png 699w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/three-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/three-768x1154.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/three.png 936w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/four\/'><img width=\"474\" height=\"711\" src=\"\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/four-700x1050.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/four-700x1050.png 700w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/four-200x300.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/four-768x1151.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/four.png 938w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/five\/'><img width=\"474\" height=\"316\" src=\"\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/five-1050x699.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/five-1050x699.png 1050w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/five-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.bu.edu\/hoochie\/files\/2018\/11\/five-768x511.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Photography and Interview by Melissa Hurtado ALEXANDRA MARIE VARGAS Q: What does woman empowerment mean to you?
