Bridgette
by Lily McNeil '01.5
This image is from a photo essay Lily did on a female boxer
named Bridgette at the King's Highway Boxing Gym. Bridgette is a
recovering heroin addict in New York City who took up boxing because she
was tired of being picked on and wanted to fight back. She also felt
stuck, since for a "black lesbian ex-heroin addict, there aren't many options."
In Lily's opinion, Bridgette has a wonderful spirit.
