It pays to be a vandal pt. II- Fafi

Woman have always had to struggle to gain equal representation in their various fields and pursuits of interest. The road has not been a smooth one, but over the years women have managed to secure themselves the same basic rights as men in most developed democratic societies and are even poised to surpass men in managerial roles in many sectors. However, in the underground world of graffiti and street culture women still seem to be remarkably underrepresented, even in this day and age. Some woman, curious enough to venture into the dark underworld of street art and brave enough to challenge the male dominated status-quo, are making moves through their love of graffiti. Introducing Fafi.
Fafi started on the underground graffiti circuit painting her noticeable characters on walls in her hometown of Toulouse France. Her talent was quickly recognized by the likes Adidas, Coca-Cola, and Collette to name a few. These days she's rolls with the Cool Cats and travels the world showcasing her rare talent. We can be sure that whether she's in New-York or Tokyo Fafi is a vandal making beaucoup money.
