The honorees were personally selected from the community nominations by teen girls participating in the Girls Inc. Women’s History Project. At the event, honorees’ stories are told through the eyes of the girls who selected them. Each year, the breakfast is a very inspiring event and stands as tribute to the spirit of the first woman to seek the democratic presidential nomination, Shirley Chisolm, who described her self as “Unbought and Unbossed”.

Last year’s event sold out weeks in advance so get your ticket today!

During the project, the girls were asked to think about their hands and what they will use them for in the future. 

Ultimately, they painted model hands as artistic expressions of their future ambitions. Local artist, Judy Britain, helped plan the project and guided the girls through the designing and painting of their hands.

These hands, along with other art projects by the girls and a unity mural by the girls and their families, will be on display at the event.

The project was funded by an Arts Build Communities grant from the Tennessee Arts Commission through Allied Arts of Greater Chattanooga as well as an arts grant from Target stores.

For more information on the project or to RSVP to the event, contact scolbert@girlsincofchatt.org or call (423) 624-4757 ext. 104.
