For a photography project, Drew Kretchmer '20 showcased the way her physical Illnesses have impacted her body and self image. “As I started going through puberty my metabolism slowed down, I began to gain weight, and I also have a condition called endometriosis that can make you look bloated,” Kretchmer said. “Being that I live in Los Angeles, I am constantly surrounded by skinny girls in school and on social media, and I began to become very self-conscious to the point where I didn’t even go to some birthday parties or family dinners because I couldn’t find something that I felt my body looked good in.”
