The Murray State University Women's Center celebrated its 20th Celebrate Women luncheon Thursday afternoon in the Curris Center ballroom in conjunction with National Women's History Month.
In keeping with the 2008 theme, “Women's Art: Women's Vision,” the luncheon featured performance artist Aryeh Shell from San Jose, Calif., who shared her personal journey of discovering her matriarchal ancestory line and the creation of “Herstories Project,” a multi-cultural theatrical performance in which she celebrates women in her past, women in history and women in culture. Shell spends time traveling all over the world encouraging women of every culture, race and background to share “Her Story.”
While Shell admits she spent years never seeing her own mother's strengths, it was during her journey into her past that her view changed. Shell said she asked her mother about her life and what accomplishments she was proud of.
