Empowered Expression

Through the Artist Enrichment Grant at the Kentucky Foundation for Women, photographer Katie Romano will support survivors this year through her digital and analog art.

Katie says, “I am so excited to be working with GreenHouse17 and creating artwork which uplifts and advocates for women. Sharing the voices of survivors is a critical step to raise awareness.”

This is Katie’s second Bloom cover collaboration. We were excited to welcome her back to help share Paula’s story and look forward to sharing more survivor stories with the community this year.

“When survivors choose to share their stories, the experience affirms their strength and makes their healing visible,” says Corissa Phillips, our external relations director. “Photography can tell these stories in ways that words alone cannot.”

The Artist Enrichment grant provides opportunities for artists to develop new skills and art that advances social justice in Kentucky. This year’s recipients include artists across literary, performing, visual, and media art. Visit the Kentucky Foundation for Women website at kfw.org to learn more.
