On Wednesday, February 15th, The Office of
Diversity and Inclusion hosted Lateefah Simon. Ms. Simon facilitated a
discussion on “Women, Empowerment, and Social Justice”. As the Director of the
Rosenberg Foundation, a speaker, and women’s rights advocate, Ms. Simon shared
her experience working with those in low-income communities, women, and those
who have been incarcerated.
Students were engaged as Ms. Simon shared what she
called her “migration story”. Students were empowered to overcome obstacles to
become social change agents and recognize injustice and poverty. “If not you,
who?” Ms. Simon asserted as she challenged students. A question and answer
panel followed the presentation.

"Women's history month pushes us to think about
intersectionality, who we are, and how brave we can be.” – Lateefah Simon
