Liz Johnson is a Paralympic Swimming Champion and a champion for the rights and opportunities of the disabled community. When she left her athletic career behind and began pursuing a career, she found that the considerations for the disabled community were working against them, not for them. She co-founded The Ability People to help bridge gaps and advocate for disabled people in the workforce. From sparse public transportation to a lack of elevators, it's no wonder why the unemployment rate within the community is so high. Liz is working to show everyone that the way someone is different than you should not be their defining factor in your eyes, but it also does no one any good to ignore those differences. Go to a place of discomfort to be able to grow.

Rita Levi-Montalicini co-discovered the Nerve Growth Factor (NGF). This discovery led to advancements in the way we approach neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Dementia. Her discoveries were nothing short of awe inspiring, especially considering she was at one point relegated to performing her experiments in a makeshift lab in her bedroom when Mussolini passed laws barring academic and professional careers to non-Aryan Italian citizens- after all, Rita was Jewish in Fascist Italy.

Ava DuVernay didn't set out to be a filmmaker, but she always was a film lover. Initially going in to Journalism and then opening her own PR firm that provided PR and marketing for the cinematic and lifestyle industries, she picked up a camera in her 30s, used her own money, and made her first short film. And the rest, as they say, is history. She is one of the heavy weights, now with her company Array, producing films from underrepresented communities in the industry. One of Ava's most notable films she directed would be Selma, a film that helped her to make history at the Oscars. Focused on exploring the lives and struggles of Black Americans throughout history, Ava's works are though provoking, inspirational, tough, and eye opening.

Artemisia was one of the most famous and sought after Baroque artists in the 1600s when she was actively taking submissions. A victim of a traumatic sexual assault as a teenager, a lot of her narrative has been wrapped up in it. Depicting her as a wronged woman exacting her revenge through her artwork- there is so much more to her and the legacy she has left behind than something that happened to her.

"You worry too much about what you put in to your mouth, and not enough about what comes out of it."
Leah Chase was a facilitator of important conversations, but you'd never know her true impact on the progress of America if you asked her. Her restaurant, Dookie Chase, was the spot to be in New Orleans, Louisiana when segregation was terrorizing the nation. The restaurant became as place for black and white people to have conversations about Civil Rights without having to worry about violence. Her art collection is thought to be one of the best collections of African American art in New Orleans, and her gumbo the best in the world!
