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 Jessica Carr Exhibit
When I read the prompt, I knew I wanted to do a food recipe that reflected how strong my mom is. Strength can be shown in different ways and one of those ways is through adaptability and making the best of what you have. My mom has always inspired me to be a better person and an even better baker. I created Girls Gotta Eat Good Asian Bakery because she taught me to love food and to share that love with everyone.
The Veronica Jones Exhibit
My name is Veronica and I'm the co-creator at Dale+Aran. I live in the US in Tennessee with my husband (the other half of Dale+Aran) and our 2 year old daughter. I changed the name of our shop a year or so ago when I first started working with clay. Dale is my Dad's middle name, mine and my daughter's. Aran is part of my daughter’s first name plus it is my very favorite place in the world....the Aran Islands in Ireland.
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.
