Michelle Browder
Michelle Browder, originally from Denver, Colorado, moved to rural Alabama as a child, where she faced racial bias. Following a life-changing challenge from her father to channel her struggles into art, Michelle began a hand-painted T-shirt business at 13. She studied Graphic Design in Atlanta and has since dedicated 35 years to mentoring marginalized youth through art and spoken word, creating diversion programs for juvenile centers. Today, as the founder of the I AM MORE THAN… Initiative and More Than Tours, Michelle promotes empowerment and redefines women’s health narratives through impactful art, including the Mothers of Gynecology Monument.
