Mimi’s pioneering work in illusionary makeup has garnered international attention and a large following on social media. Recognizing this issue’s strong portfolio of female contributors, we asked some of them, “Who is the strongest female in your life, and why?” Mimi replied, “My mother exemplifies strength through the unconditional love, selflessness and patience she has shown me and my family. I’m in awe of her resilience, continually demonstrating composure and grace in the face of significant hardships throughout her life. She is an example of the type of mother I strive to be for my son.”
