Holly Norris - nope, no relation

Holly Norris is a young Canadian photographer who's work I just came across today. Her photojournalistic images are so powerful. I love her American Able campaign. Through a series of clever mock American Apparel advertisements, she addresses how disabled women are overlooked in today's media and advertising.

In her latest blog post Holly posted images from the No More Silence March that was held on Valentines Day in Toronto. The march was to recognize the over 500 indigenous women who have been murdered or who have gone missing on Turtle Island over the last three decades. Apparently there has been an ongoing problem with genocide against indigenous women in the area that is being covered up by law enforcement, coroners office's and the courts. Its really disturbing. This is an issue that I had never heard of before and it is really terrible that this is happening to these women.
