and NYC Gallery Show 

 

 

 

 

 

JROTC Cadet Mackenzy Davis (pictured above in a CHS JROTC photo), along with other female cadets (pictured in the group photo above), were professionally photographed (not shown) by Kate Parker, a professional photographer who is currently photographing strong girls for possible inclusion in her new book, "Strong is the New Pretty." Mackenzy's photo was selected to appear in Parker's New York City gallery show last week. The photograph of Mackenzie selected for inclusion cannot be shown yet, since it is now the property of Parker.  Below is the press release for Parker's NYC gallery showing.

 

"Special K is launching the “Nourish Your Next” project to recognize and celebrate get-after-it, bring-it-on, ready-for-what’s next women, and nourish what they have their sights set on next. Throughout the year, Special K will be on the lookout for women who are rocking it, and celebrating their strength in ways big and small.

To kick things off, Special K is elevating the story of a woman worthy of recognition, “Strong is the New Pretty” photographer Kate T. Parker. What started as a personal photography project for the mother to two young daughters is now a mission to combat the messages often sent to women and girls by showing that true beauty is not in a hairstyle, outfit or body type, but in being yourself 100%.

Inspired by her mission, Special K is helping Parker reach a new audience with her message, starting with her first-ever New York City photography exhibit where she’ll showcase that strong is indeed the new pretty and unveil #whatsnext – a “Strong is the New Pretty” book and charity. Proceeds from the sale of select images will also help Parker further her mission to nourish future generations of strong women through her charity."
