Melody Melamed, a photographer, and Nina Tiari, a fashion designer/stylist, are taking the summer to collaborate on a project dedicated to Melody's MFA thesis at The School of Visual Arts of New York City and to their crafts. Inspired by their friendship, they want to create a series of photographs about their excursions and adventures touring the U.S. as friends, as women, as American born Iranians, and as young artists. Nina and Melody created this site to blog their trips as the source of their inspiration for their upcoming photograph installation series to be shown in New York City.
As for the title, it was prompted from the video of Nina's niece, Leilah, and her girl power attitude.
