OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Drocella Mugorewera Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
I am a woman of faith, and I use that to help people to reach their potential. I am proud to lead an organization that welcomes refugees and asylees and helps them to be self-sufficient and to become productive and contributing members of our community.
I am also inspired by people who are successful in making an impact to transform people’s lives. Of course, I am inspired by the role of women and their contributions in all areas of life.
Educating women is educating society. I am thankful for the welcoming community and volunteers who help refugees, asylees, and special immigrant visa holders to integrate in our communities.
As a former refugee, I am grateful to the people who helped my family and me thrive toward giving forward in our new home.
I applaud and celebrate every woman in the whole world, and I wish them a happy International Women’s Day on March 8.

More Exhibits
The Ashley Garner Exhibit
My submission was inspired by all the many ways over time I, like all women, just had to figure it out. As a result of figuring it out, I have built a successful custom painting and furniture restoration business (Nest) as well as a writing career, writing for The Dollywood Company, Knoxville Mom's, Her View From Home, and Today.com.
The Ruth Everhart Exhibit
Authors usually choose what topic they’re going to study, especially a topic that will consume their energy for years. But sometimes the reverse occurs. Sometimes the topic chooses the author.
The Mary Camarillo Exhibit
I write to understand my world. This poem is about my mother who died in April of 2019. There is so much I wish I would have asked her. She would be thrilled about my debut novel, "The Lockhart Women", which will be published in June of 2021 by She Writes Press. The novel is dedicated to my mother but is not about her at all.
