ASHANTI BRANCH The metaphorical masks we wear BY AIMEE LEWIS STRAIN

A
mask can be used for performance or entertainment, or as protection for hunting, sports or war. A mask can protect more than the face alone, and if you ask Ashanti Branch, a mask can be invisible yet desired to combat the fear of being vulnerable or misunderstood. This metaphorical mask cripples many from finding their true selves. JANUARY 2022 | CATHOLIC SAN FRANCISCO
