SHESHOTIT
At 43North77West, we proudly champion initiatives that bring positive change and empowerment to our communities. One of our most exciting endeavors is SHESHOTIT, a program dedicated to uplifting young women through the transformative power of photography.
Set to officially launch as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2025, SHESHOTIT is designed to foster creativity, boost self-esteem, and offer a constructive outlet for self-expression — countering the negative impacts of social media addiction among young adults.
WHO IS SHESHOTIT FOR?
Targeting young women in urban and underserved communities, SHESHOTIT invites participants aged 13-17 to explore the world of photography. This program isn't just about taking pictures; it's about giving these young women a platform to tell their stories, share their visions, and realize their voices matter.
Why Photography?
In a world where social media often blurs the line between reality and perception, SHESHOTIT aims to cultivate a genuine sense of self through artistic expression. Photography as a medium encourages observation, interpretation, and portrayal of the world in a way that is personal and authentic. This hands-on engagement helps combat the feelings of inadequacy and anxiety that can come from unhealthy social media habits, building resilience and a positive self-image among our participants.
Our Journey so far...
SHESHOTIT didn’t just appear out of thin air. This initiative blossomed thanks to the community's support and faith in our vision:
Beyond Photography - A Community of Support
More than just teaching the nuts and bolts of camera work, SHESHOTIT builds a nurturing environment that promotes growth, learning, and mutual support. Our participants gain confidence, not only as photographers but also as contributors to their community, capable of inspiring change and advocating for themselves and others.
As we edge closer to our official launch in 2025, we’re more enthusiastic than ever about the potential of SHESHOTIT. This isn’t just a program — it’s a movement. One where creativity meets empowerment, and young women learn to see their world, and themselves, through a new lens.
