Fresno Christian award-winning U.S. history teacher Kori James (also an adviser for the student-led award-winning publication The Feather Online) and talented student and photojournalist Selah Neal return to the program. March is Women's History Month. Instead of tracking down someone with a national profile and marquee name for these segments, CG wanted to celebrate several local women who are highly accomplished. Enter Kori and Selah. Both have done, and continue to do, remarkable things inside and outside the Fresno Christian classrooms in the areas of teaching, journalism and photojournalism. They are indeed marquee names in their own right.

More with Kori James and Selah Neal from Fresno Christian. Kori is a great example of someone who celebrates the growth and success of the young students she teaches by creating ample space for them to flourish in every possible way. Selah is 17 going on mature, successful professional. She already understands the line she walks with the work she produces as a photojournalist. She shoots for the benefit of her audience but also to continue expanding her own creative parameters.
