OUR HISTORY, OUR VOICES PROJECT
The Leah Yaun Exhibit
About Her Exhibit…
This piece is titled “Fear of Him”.
It is about a time in my life when I kept quiet about a series of situations in fear of what would happen if I spoke up.
It is too common that women are belittled by boys because boys think they can do anything they want.
I think it is important to note that women are so much stronger than what society views us as.

The Elizabeth Molter Exhibit
My mom has always been my inspiration my entire life. She has always been there with me through tough times and even when I had health problems she never left my side for a single minute, not to even get a bite to eat. When I found myself doodling one day writing calligraphy she, along with others, inspired me to start this business and make some money from my passion and talent.
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 Angelique Adams Exhibit
I am an engineer with over 25 years of experience in manufacturing, operations, strategy, and innovation most recently serving as the Chief Innovation Officer at Aperam, a multi-billion/yr global manufacturer of stainless steel and specialty alloys. I went from being laughed at when I told professors I wanted to pursue a Ph.D., to leading hundreds of scientists around the world.
