Financial independence has been identified in the literature as a means of promoting women's self-sufficiency and a key aspect of the concepts of success and self-efficacy. Few studies, however, have examined women's perspectives of their needs and ability to meet those needs consistently over time. Furthermore, little is known about how women assign meaning to, perceive, and experience success or their ability to sustain their needs and the needs of their community. This study utilizes photovoice to explore perceptions of self-success and self-sustainability among women (N = 21) participating in a community-based entrepreneurial skills development and empowerment program.
