Pictured in my gallery of photos is this cap sans moi wearing it. In response to a request for photographs of "quirky" UVA memorabilia, I responded with a photo of my cap.
Fast forward, a few months later, I was contacted about being photographed in the cap for the Summer/Fall 2022 edition of the VIRGINIA magazine. Little did I know I would have an entire page to myself.
For those interested in reading the article, here is the link to the digitized version ...

Through University of Virginia's RETOLD: Celebrating the Women of UVA, the author secured her place in the archives of UVA. RETOLD might even be considered an extension of the "Share Your Story Exhibit," which celebrated Black sisterhood through the centuries and organized around five themes:
- “Black UVA Women: Being First”
- “Charlottesville-Albemarle Women: Groundbreakers on the Homefront”
- “Artwork & Authors: Black Female Voices and Faces”
- “Fashions & Livelihoods: The Way They Wore”
- “Love, Marriage & Family: The Ties that Bind”
Y.B. Taylor, formerly Yolanda Burrell, and her Charter Line sorority sisters of the Kappa Rho Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. were part of the "Share Your Story" exhibit.
