Jennifer “ChaCha” Parsad is a Jersey City–born, first-generation Puerto Rican fine-art photographer who transforms silence into storytelling. Drawing from thirteen years of military service, she uses her camera as both therapy and truth—confronting identity, vulnerability, and the beauty hidden within chaos. Her portraits honor veterans’ inner battles, celebrate LGBTQ+ courage, and challenge social norms with unapologetic honesty. Through her lens, strength and softness coexist, inviting viewers to face their own reflections and find grace in the broken and the brave.
