WHAT DRIVES RHEA CREATIVELY

My community continues to push me to get involved with creative endeavors, especially the community I found through social media. It's invigorating to see that so many people resonate with my work, the things I post, or the stories I share. Being in this space allows me to be around such driven and creative people. Even sitting here on set with all of you guys, you are so incredibly talented A lot of the people I’ve met online have this vision that is so beautiful and authentic to who they are, and they're able to execute it in a really empowering way. And it's all done in a way that is very different from what we've been conditioned to view as success.

Photography, for example, was one of the first times I felt proud of something I could do outside of school. It felt like I finally found a way to express myself and my personality, and this vision that I had. Photography made it so that there was a tangible way for me to express it all. I felt proud of that I always thought it was so beautiful: to create something that would make someone stop and stare a little bit longer
