When the STRONGER Tour rolled into Winthrop University we were greeted with a smiling face and tons of southern hospitality. The African Student Association president, Markael Dodd, was so friendly and we quickly learned that it was also the the spirit of the campus. Our panelists for this event were: Markael Dodd, Diane Phillips, and Nia Anthony, along with our resident comedian, Alton Walker. The audience was very engaged and the different perspectives added to an invigorating dialogue as we discussed white privilege, domestic violence, and the importance of black lives. Check out the event wrap up video created by Winthrop University student, Brittany Fore, here.
I am a student here (soon graduate) of Winthrop and I am so sorry I missed this event! I do not even remember hearing about it or seeing the advertisement for it but definitely come back and continue doing things like this on the campus. It is important that we stand together and empower each other as black women instead of competing with one another.
So sorry you missed it Ayana! But thank you for your comment! We hope to visit Winthrop University again for the Fall Semester! Be sure to subscribe to our mailing list to get all info on the Fall Stronger Tour!
