Stormi Greener's forceful vision has embraced subjects at home and abroad for nearly two decades. She began her foreign travels in 1979, when she single handedly reported on the plight of the then little-known Vietnamese boat people to Minnesota readers. She has done extensive foreign coverage of refugees and others since then, with trips to Vietnam, Cambodia, Germany, Poland, Israel, Iraq, Kuwait, Pakistan, Jordan, China, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Nepal, Cuba and Hungary. Greener's intense interest in social issues at home has also regularly informed Minnesota readers. Her in-depth stories have embraced such topics as child abuse, aging, cancer, physical disabilities and poverty. Scores of state, national and international awards document her career. Major awards include the Canon Photo Essayist Award, the Robert F. Kennedy Photojournalism Award, the Oscar Barnak Award, the World Press Photo Award, and multiple sweepstakes awards in the Inland Daily Photo and Minnesota Associated Press P
