The YWCA Knoxville & the Tennessee Valley has served women and families in Knoxville for 108 years, dedicated to eliminating racism, empowering women and promoting peace, justice, freedom and dignity for all.

I am honored to be nominated and selected as a finalist for the 2018 Tribute to Women, in the “Arts and Education” category. Finalists represent an impressive cross section of all-stars in multiple sectors. I am excited to celebrate these women at the tribute event at Bijou Theatre on September 13, and to work together toward a better, shared community.
