OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Alaina René Williams Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I am a full time photographer in Knoxville, TN specializing in wedding and portrait/fashion. I knew my passion for photography at 11 years old and it grew even greater over the years. I began my business at only 18 years old and went full time at 21.
I believe in telling people’s stories, every story deserves to be told authentically and joyfully captured with a fresh and true touch of color.
This submission is about a production I hosted for women of color! It was to inspire them and others about how confident, radiant and strong we (as women) can be!
This production was to support, honor and recognize these women who have built a life of strength, confidence and success.
My goal is for other people to be moved by this as well and spread the light!
Let’s get the word out to support and honor the beautiful stories that have been told!

More Exhibits
The Dorothy Verbick Exhibit
I am a middle school art teacher and a meditation/mindfulness practitioner. Before college, I had only taken an art class in elementary school. I doodled the comics (mostly Garfield), did NOT draw all the time, and did not have an encouraging family to support my art curiosity. Somehow, I still went for it.... art school made sure to let me know how far behind in knowledge I was...especially during critique.
The Emily McClenagan Exhibit
Jane & Pearl started during my twins' nap in 2015 as a way for me to create as well as give back to others. I am partnering with Thrive Parkridge in East Knoxville to amplify their work and donate profits to help with projects such as renovating rooms and spaces in their 100-year-old building. I love to paint live at weddings, watercolor home portraits, and of course whimsical florals.
The Emerald Green Exhibit
My name is Emerald Green and I am a photographer in Atlanta, GA. My submissions include images of women throughout the 2020 protests that were held throughout GA as well as Louisville, KY. I thought about what was asked of me, about me telling about myself and my work. While I was at different protests, I saw that there were only white men who were capturing moments.
