Santa Clarita Magazine

After Daniella Fenelon, our director, spoke about international women's issues last month The Confernce for Equality put on by the Zonta Club of Danta Clarita and the Donestic Violence Center of Santa Clarita, we were mentioned in The Santa Clarita Magazine! 

Conference for Equality

Conference for Equality is a free women's issues conference sponsored by the Zonta Club of Santa Clarita and The Domestic Violence Center of Santa Clarita Valley. It is open to everyone, but targeted towards high school students. We Will Not Be Silenced's director, Daniella Fenelon, will be giving a talk on international women's issues. Additionally, some photos produced and used for the campaign will be on display. 

It is being held in Santa Clarita, CA on April 11th from 10 am to 3 pm. 

Lunch will be provided. Please see the flyer for additional information regarding the address, how to RSVP, etc. 

Day 100

We are not meant to hide behind blankets of insecurities, fear, and shame. We were built to preserve. We were built to shine. 

In a world where rape, harassment, human trafficking, and abuse are rampant, we can not allow ourselves be silenced. Through education, communication, and open conversations we can work towards a future where women don't have to hold their keys between their fingers as they walk to their cars at night; a future where every child can be educated; a future where women's bodies are not used as marketing tools by companies; a future where we can all exist without fear. We will not allow ourselves to be treated unjustly; we will not be coerced into believing we are not good enough. 

As our campaign comes to a close on this, our 100th photo, we pose one question: 

Will you be silenced?

I would like to take a moment to thank the amazing people and organizations I have worked with over the last 5 months to prep, construct, and execute the We Will Not Be Silenced photo campaign. Thank you to the photographers I was privileged enough to work with: Zoe Weiman (zoewphotography.squarespace.com), Hannah Elzer, Judy Couja, Jenna Lui, and Everett Barton. 

Thank you to our partners: Perks of Being Clothing (perksofbeingdifferent.com), the Domestic Violence Center of Santa Clarita (dvc-scv.org), and The Proof in Scars (facebook.com/TheProofInScars). 

Thank you to my sister, Gabriella Fenelon, who helped with hair.  

Thank you to my parents Andy and Maria Fenelon who not only put up with all the photo shoots, but advised me on how to run this campaign effectively and encouraged me to keep going. 

And, finally, a HUGE thank you to the 89 individuals who were photographed for this project. 

Truly, without this entire team, the We Will Not Be Silenced photo campaign would not have been made possible. 

Thank you, 

Daniella Fenelon

Day 97

"[When] a girl goes on chat in a video game, she receives crude comments from... boys and grown men. So girls, like myself, stay off chats and generally away from online multiplayer environments because they are hostile. One time, I was in a Halo matchmaking game. My character was female and it is easy to tell the difference between the male and female charterers... As soon as I got on... six or seven of the... male players changed... to [feminine] colors to try to get me to talk to them." -Zoe Weiman

"We don't need to look like men or dress like men or talk like men to be powerful. We can be powerful in our own way, our own feminine way." -Zooey Deschanel
