When service members leave active duty for civilian life, they may face challenges. Female veterans report that they have specific hurdles that are hard to overcome — including a lack of social support.
We sit down with several female veterans who share their stories, and a new project they worked on called Eyes Front. It’s a photography and writing collaboration where they’ve documented their experiences. We talk to them about what they want the community to know. In studio:
- Jennifer Wiese, veteran, social worker at the Rochester Vet Center, and participant in the Eyes Front program
- Jade Starr, veteran and participant in the Eyes Front program
- Megan Charland, director of photography and digital arts at Flower City Arts Center
