I really wanted to leave the school, but I stayed. Someone had to push for change. I got more involved. I joined a committee with the dean and others to establish a diversity program. We held a range of cultural events, like a soul-food night, a movie night with films about civil-rights movements, a Caribbean night, a Motown dance. Our goal was to show people diversity within the black community. We also held weekly meetings to talk about current issues, and everyone was welcome to come and ask questions.
Jesus, she is so strong.
