Weathering (Part 1: Sharing Our Stories)

Thank you for participating in this survey. My name is Kahiah Polidore, and I am a Portrait Photographer working on a visual storytelling project to shed light on the real and diverse experiences of women living with uterine fibroids. I want this body of work to be a collaboration that uplifts us. Typically I do self-portraits, but this topic deserves to be a collaborative effort between myself that bridges community and allows for advocacy! Your voice matters, and your honesty is appreciated. This survey is part one of my series Weathering, with part two launching in late fall 2025.
