In the first installment of our Body of Work series, Claire interviews Riley Blanks. Riley Blanks is a multimedia storyteller, socially conscious artist, and the creator of Woke Beauty—a photography movement and self-actualization tool that celebrates the inherent resilience of women everywhere.

Although Riley has lived in fifteen cities and six countries throughout her lifetime, she is now based in Austin, Texas. She currently spends her time running Woke Beauty, working with brands she believes in and shooting Manifest—a photography series exploring her biracial identity and its relation to earthly elements, as a reflection of what it takes to undo injustices toward women of color in America (read Riley's full bio).
