About Rebel Nell:
Fueled by a deep appreciation for Detroit’s resilience, a passion for empowering women, and a love of the city’s vibrant street art, Amy Peterson and Diana Roginson had a vision. Drawn to the idea of repurposing fallen graffiti into unique jewelry, there was an opportunity to not only create beautiful pieces, but also to address social issues. Under their leadership, Rebel Nell has become a beacon of creativity and empowerment. By providing employment and skill development to women facing barriers, art and social impact are woven together, turning discarded materials into symbols of resilience and strength.
