Students shadow Steve Smith Family Foundation Executive Director Gerard Littlejohn at Hygge Zero Night

CHARLOTTE NC: October 17, 2019 - Creating Exposure Through The Arts photography students Jazlyn Jordan and Kendall Weddington captured images and shadowed Gerard Littlejohn, the Executive Director of the Steve Smith Family Foundation, at the Hygge Zero Night event. The evening featured speakers from the Hygge Family or Charlotte community who were given 10 minute talk on, well, anything they want. The attendees did not know the topic but that’s the point. It is a free event and the audience must be open to hearing something unexpected. The goal os Zero Nights is to bring our community together to pause for a moment, and learn from someone new. During the evening, Littlejohn shared personal stories of his childhood and his progress to success. While talking about the importance of giving back, he introduced the Creating Exposure Through The Arts photography students, asked them to stand up and shared how he invited them as his personal guests to visually document the evening.
