Georgia House of Representatives formally recognizes and commends "Our Kind of Women," a multi-platform storytelling project created by Atlanta-based photographer Bessie Akuba Winn

The project documents the experiences of Black women over 40 who came of age during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, exploring influences of civil rights, feminism, music, and media representation

An International Women's Day exhibition features participants including actress Terri J. Vaughn, actress Vanessa Bell Calloway, actress Essence Atkins, entrepreneur Simone Smith, media personality Bevy Smith, former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, and scholar Yaba Blay

The Clerk of the House of Representatives is directed to provide a copy of the resolution to Our Kind of Women
