KEY TAKEAWAYS:

It is important for Black women to show up in academic spaces. It is absolutely necessary to share their story in the effort to support others as they come that way.

Showing up authentically - more Black women are embracing their natural beauty, their dance, the way they articulate themselves and present themselves and not willing to have that be silenced or diminished by anyone!

Tell your truth! When you start to share your truth, there will be a resistance, because your perspective is very unique.

If you have a platform, don’t be selfish about this platform, but use it to amplify other’s voices.

I am strong, educated and female and that is enough.

All of who you are is so valuable, not one part of it should be deleted.
