[post_page_title]A lifelong dream[/post_page_title]
Sydney V. Smith had a lifelong dream. For as long as she could remember, she wanted to be a “giraffe woman.” It began when she was in middle school, and would obsess over old National Geographic magazines, particularly those sharing the stories of women belonging to the Kayan Lahwi tribe originating in Thailand and Burma. The images of these women enthralled her, and she knew even at that tender age what she wanted to do.
