ABOUT
THE WOMAN I WILL BECOME PROJECT
In 2020, I launched “The Woman I Will Become,” a project dedicated to inspiring young girls through the stories and careers of other women who were once just like them: full of dreams and aspirations.
My subject matter is women; women of diverse backgrounds, careers, and personal and professional interests.
As a young girl, I was inspired by the stories of other women who used their education to achieve their wildest dreams. However, growing up in my native country of Venezuela, I knew that not every girl had the same opportunities, especially girls who hold marginalized identities.
Working as a photographer in New York City has allowed me to meet incredible women filled with powerful stories and I have contacted them to share their stories.
Currently, I work with women in NYC but my long-term plan is to be able to reach other areas of the country and the world to get a more holistic perspective of other women across the board.
Patricia Burmicky is a portrait and event photographer based in New York City.
WHY?
My core belief is that every girl, regardless of their intersectional identities such as race, culture, religion, sexual orientation, and country of origin deserves to have access to a quality education that affords her with the possibility of dreaming big.
OUR Collaborators
This project has happened thanks to the collaboration of beautiful people who believe in our mission and we wanted to share a little bit about them.
