Our Story
What Your Grandma Never Told You is focused on spreading awareness to advocate for women’s rights. Through our blog and documentary project, women who have seen broad changes in women’s rights share their stories.
We believe in preserving the stories of ordinary women because everyone’s story is worth telling. Over the years, these important and valuable experiences get lost because there was never a platform to speak upon until now. Honoring these stories helps ensure that our understanding of women's rights is inclusive. We are telling new, diverse narratives from all socioeconomic statuses, races, religions, etc. These are the voices that need to be heard.
What do we do?
Our blog shares a collection of articles, ranging from The Mothers of Feminism to Current Events. Additionally, we are producing a documentary where women can share their experiences so their stories are forever recorded.
Please contact us if you’d like to share your story so you can be part of history, too.
Founder’s Bio
Avery Vukhac is a high schooler at the Horace Mann School, in Riverdale. She enjoys reading, watching movies, playing tennis, and baking for her friends. She’s best known for her famously delicious olive oil cake (to her family and friends).
She has grown up watching the shift of women's rights and always had an interest in it. Avery is also very close with her grandmothers, who love to tell her their stories. She realized that their stories will be gone in a couple of years because they never had the true opportunity to share them.
Their story is what inspired What Your Grandma Never Told You.
