Mara's Whys
Writing
Books have always been my getaway, my escapism from the world that I could easily see was, is, unfair and cruel at times. Before I could go alone into the sea or forests, I could read. Fantasy novels are my first love and I'm so excited to publish my own stories soon!
Painting
Painting is where I can tangibly play with the colors and images that inspire me everyday. When I hike, when I swim, when I connect with Mother Earth, I want to paint. The world around us is so beautiful and inspiring and I can't help but to put it to paper and share it with you all.
Activism
Above all, I could not do any of this, read, write, paint, without the inspiration of the world around me. I could not read or write had my ancestors not fought for my right as a girl, as a woman, to an education. I could not paint without nature and its energies rejuvenating and inspiring me. We are nothing without equality. We are nothing without the Earth. And that is because we ARE the planet and we are all connected with one another.
Partnering with One Tree Planted
Planting Trees
I love nature and climate activism is something that is near and dear to my heart. There is no future without Mother Nature, there is no present, there is no past. We are nothing without our planet and the gifts she gives us.
So I have partnered with One-Tree-Planted and with every purchase you will be helping me restore forests, replenish fresh air, create biodiversity, and help Mother Earth herself.
Partnering with the Global Fund for Women
Giving to Gender Equality
As a woman who has seen her loved ones abused, and who has been assaulted herself, I will never stop fighting for my daughter and other children to have a better future. Gender equality has barely just begun and yet my daughter was born with less rights than her grandmother was. I refuse to stand by and allow it to happen without using my voice and my wallet, because lets face it, money talks.
With every purchase I will also be donating a dollar to the Global Fund for Women to continue this fight. Thank you for helping me and women around the world!
