HERstory Volume III
            Herstory Volume III: Trailblazers and Disruptors is currently on display in my office! In a building where portraits and statues tell the stories of men, HERstory makes space for stories too often left untold — stories of women who lead, inspire, and push boundaries. The women featured in this project have challenged the norm, carved new paths, and opened doors for the next generation. They remind us that women — especially women of color — belong in the halls of power. The State House is the People’s House, and the Senate is working to ensure out artwork reflects the vibrancy and diversity of our people.
