The Fantasy Studios Oasis Empowerment Project holds a very special place in my heart. Created after a simple photo of myself revealed how lost I was when I looked in my eyes and the sparkle that was once as bright as the sun, was barely even a flicker; I knew something needed to change. Two weeks later that sparkle was brighter than it ever had been before because I was learning to love myself again, but more importantly I stopped spending time in toxic environments that tore me down.
There is a radiant strength that shines in the eyes of survivors and reclaiming your power is a journey you don’t have to walk alone. Through the Empowerment Project, we invite women who have walked challenging paths to reclaim their power in a safe, nurturing, private experience for survivors of domestic violence to see their own sparkle reflected back at them.. It’s more than a photoshoot; it’s an invitation to heal, connect, and thrive. Let's capture the extraordinary resilience you carry within.
*For protection of the participants the photos are only shared with the individual in the shoot. What they do with them after that is their choice, but they will never be shared publicly by Fantasy Studios Oasis.*
