Time Perspective 02: This is the story of a helpless woman who is about to become famous, but for the very wrong reasons.

We are all currently going through the coronavirus pandemic, and I can't help but ask the question of whether people have to choose between dying by the Virus or by other means? Means such as fear, hate, racism, ignorance or even starvation. Should there be a need for that question in the first place? World Nations casting aspersions on another, so much to blame on the topic of transparency, and world domination. The negligence of Health institutions.

"Eve" doesn’t have a race, color or hair type. Eve is a lifestyle every female lives unknowingly each day, making decisions and sharing her time, self and space with others not because she’s a slave but because she’s the mother of all living. "Eve" is who we are and what we stand for. She’s beautiful, in her flawlessly flawed natural state.
