Salima, a brown-skinned woman with dark curly hair, red lipstick and a gold and red necklace smiles away from the camera. She is sitting and holding a pillow in a dark room lit up by the glow of soft yellow lights. The room smells like a blend of citrus, palo santo smoke, cedar, lavender, bergamot and eucalyptus.
