This mural tells the story of a young girl who dreams of a lifetime lived in a world where women and their rights are respected, protected, and valued. Above her bed hangs a poster raising awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and a galaxy swirling above her as she dreams of gender equality. In her dream, we see Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie reading her essay “We Should All be Feminists” to a group of children. The center of the mural depicts an embodiment of the divine feminine spirit with references to mother nature (pachamama), Lady Justice, and Goddesses from different cultures. The end of the mural is a mirror image of the little girl’s bedroom scene, now as an old woman she is with her granddaughter, who is showing her respect in a traditional Filipino gesture. Connecting the entire composition from left to right is a moon cycle in the shape of a yin yang, representing women’s connection to nature and the balance and harmony that gender equity would establish in the universe.
