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.
