From the Atlas of Beauty:

I photographed Yasmeen a few years ago in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. She was the first woman in Saudi Arabi to become a commercial airline pilot. In a country where women were not even allowed to drive cars a few years ago, Yasmeen dared to dream big. She trained rigorously for years and patiently awaited an opportunity— something that seemed impossible at the time. When Saudi Arabia’s policies shifted and opened doors for women in aviation, Yasmeen was ready to fulfill her dream. After her first flight as a pilot, tears of happiness flowed down her face.

Julia Roberts, recently talked about her age and why she looks older than many contemporary artists who want to keep looking young.

“I am aging with dignity, humor, and serenity..

I don't resort to lifting or Botox and I know by Hollywood standards I'm risking my career. If they don't want to give me a role because I look old, it means I produce the project and I choose who I want. The important thing is not to take this job too seriously.

I know a lot of moms struggling to make ends meet: those are the serious problems, those are the women I admire, who are beautiful and good even when everything is hard. Honestly, I have other fears...

I fear for my children, that I cannot protect them from anyone who wants to take advantage of them.. It's more important for me to be well and make my family live well..

I'm blessed and I appreciate all that I have!. I’m thankful for my husband and kids everyday. For this reason, for me the most important moments of the day are never the ones I spend on set, but the ones I have at breakfast because we talk about everything...

It's a magical moment. "
How beautiful it is to be planted in the Earth and live it to the fullest without the frivolity of marketing.
We are valuable because of who we are, not how we look!!!.
