Jillian Hernandez's idea for Woman on the Rise! was to use contemporary female artists as therapeutic examples for teenage girls coping with juvenile detention, drug abuse, sexual and physical violence or emotional disorders. The workshop program, now sponsored by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami-Dade County, challenges these troubled girls to understand and practice art to grapple with identity issues and to build a new sense of pride.
