This new talk will be a continuation of her Feb 1st black history month kick-off presentation at Walla Walla Public Library. At this event she will speak about where she finds power, inspiration and strength as a black woman in our small rural community. She will share aspects of Black History not commonly elevated.
More about Power and Privilege Symposium: The Power & Privilege Symposium is designed to make space for conversations about structural oppression and how they manifest themselves on the Whitman College campus and beyond. Topics include racism, sexism, ableism, capitalism and more. The community unites to support the lectures, panels, discussions and showcases created by our peers. The symposium strives to educate the community about the power structures prevailing around the world, questioning many of the paradigms which have socialized us. Our mission as a team is to create an environment that interrogates hard questions and the relationships, and structures of power and privilege.
