The Black Police Precinct & Courthouse Museum proudly announces the second installment of its exhibition series, This Woman’s Work, titled “This Woman’s Work: The Power of A Woman’s Touch.” This exhibition honors the trailblazing Black women in the judiciary and law enforcement fields, recognizing their invaluable contributions to justice and public service.

A growing and evolving exhibition, This Woman’s Work features 100 plates by Chief Anita Najiy, celebrating women who have shaped law enforcement and the judiciary. Chief Najiy, the first female Assistant Chief of the City of Miami Police Department, curates this powerful artistic initiative, using a blend of glass, mixed media print, and fabric to bring these women’s stories to life in a way that underscores their enduring influence.
