Andrea D. Smith, Studio 57 Photos photographer and graphic designer of Indianapolis, Indiana has inspired many young people and mature to "Be Worth Imitating!" Located in the Ticket Hall, Be Worth Imitating Exhibit at the Indianapolis International Airport Andrea has displayed nine portraits of young children admiring talented Indianapolis African-American men as role models. The ideal behind the exhibit is to showcase local individuals sucesses just as realistic goals, if not more than those of national celebrities or sports stars.  This movement was meant to expose youth to sucessful people who are within reach in their own communities!
