Inspired by poets like Amanda Gorman, she blended creativity with deep archival research and firsthand interviews to bring to life a story of resilience, safety, and sisterhood—symbolized by tulips and celebrated with a national stage at the Smithsonian. Her victory, the Celie and Tabitha Niehaus Equality in History Award, not only honored the Womontown founders but also cemented her own path as a future historian, fueled by community, mentorship, and the belief that history must be told—especially the stories that were never meant to be heard.
