INSPIRE+DO GOOD#2: MissMe, Street Artist/e de rue

MissMe est une artiste activiste qui à quitté le monde de la pub pour créer des images qui sont non seulement impossibles à ignorer, mais qui  nous font questionner : comment une femme se voit-elle ? À qui appartient sa sexualité ?  Nous luis avons demandé ce qui lui fait peur, ce qui l'inspire, et plus.

MissMe is a Montreal-based activist who gave up her 'real' job in advertising to become an artist whose work asks women to examine how they see themselves, and asks men to examine how they view women. We asked her what scares her, what inspires her, and more.
