Dear Daughter

Description
A series of letters by Christina Tran to the author’s future daughter juxtaposed against photos of their late mother. They are about our worth in the world, fighting the good fight, and always trusting in your own spirit – always.
"The mission of 'Dear Daughter' is to put more messages of empowerment out into the world for female-identifying persons. Through storytelling and workshops, we act as a conduit for these messages. We write these messages physically 'onto the world' in order to help create the future we envision –– one letter at a time." –– Cristina Tran
According to Tran's website, each time she tables at a zine fest or convention, she strives to create "mini experiences" that allow people walking by to interact with her and her work by writing a small "Dear Daughter" note of encouragement or empowerment and taking another one home. She posts some of these notes on her Instagram, @dear_daughter_.
