Here, dear fellow travellers in erotica,
a natural, unaffected woman, a free-thinker ...
(like myself, if I may say so; just check out en.light.en.ment)
Her website is about ... the Island Life ... wonderful photos ... and stories.

Instagram Un-censored
"Being
true to who we are is the most important thing to me. We face daily news
of abuse of power, sexually and otherwise. Many too fearful to come forward
before are finally sharing their voice and truly being heard, knowing they
matter, it's so freeing. We also see countless Instagram models looking for likes
by exploiting themselves physically while often being judged negatively or
blamed for unwanted advances for showing off their bodies. Freedom to be in our
truth is a birth right, showing our bodies isn't an invitation for unwanted
sexual advances, nor is being naked not an art form, so the controversy around
people's rights to be nude feels like a law against our nature. Nudity seems to
be extremely confusing for many, no one should be ashamed, abused or forced to
hide themselves. I see our bodies as entirely unique, beautiful and ours to do
with as we please, as long as we do not harm another. I hope that by sharing my
body and art I free peoples' beliefs of stigmas, empower them, and open their
minds. Much like feeling confined in a relationship that isn't working, many
are confined by societies decided on judgements. Now that people are feeling
more courageous to express their truth, we are taking back our power. I love
feeling free so I choose to make my art surrounded by nature and the beautiful
places that draw attention to things that matter to me. Being arrested for my
art and the feeling of being free is something I stand firmly
against."
