About the Book
A catalog of a groundbreaking photography exhibit in Honolulu, Hawaii from September 1, 2022 to October 30, 2022 at the Downtown Art Center. The portraits of nine women of Micronesian ancestry, all wearing the signature "Micronesian skirt," challenges viewers to examine their preconceived assumptions about this immigrant group. Viewers no doubt will be surprised to discover that among the women portrayed are a PhD marine biologist, a diplomat, two attorneys, an educational administrator with a EdD, a CEO, a healthcare administrator, a writer and poet, and a social worker.
