WOC Summit 2019
Titi Ogunsula, Mireille Rebeiz, Gisele Betances and Winnie Le
Senior French and Francophone Studies Major, Titi Ogunsula (left) was part of the executive committee who brought the first Women of Color (WOC) Summit to Dickinson! French and Francophone Studies Professor, Mireille Rebeiz (second from left) who participated in a panel for "She Goes International" as well as Winnie Le (far right) and Gisele Betances (second from right), other Senior French and Francophone Studies majors, took a lot out of the event! Many discussions were had on how to support WOC as allies and as other WOC. Notably, this was quite a diverse event as WOC attendees represented all different backgrounds during the weekend as well as non-WOC allies on Sunday.
