“Women approached me and told their stories. It's been like this for years, I think I'm someone reliable. Someone that will hear those intimate, and sometimes painful, stories that you've never told anyone. Someone who will listen without judging. Just someone to listen. To paint these stories is to do something with this pain. A kind of healing process, an end point.” – Panmela Castro on the series HerStory
