When asked to share one thing you’ve taken away from this event:
”Hilda had a great presentation and we should be having these conversations.”
“I loved the uncomfortable but needed presentation done by Hilda. It showed me a voice that I could see from someone who had a higher position.”
“I learned that racism goes back further and is deeper than what I initially thought. I have become a little more knowledgeable and will go forward with more awareness.”
”I took away a really insightful look into Black History and how systematic oppressions and racial stereotypes still exist in multiple institutions,”
“Hilda is a strong independent woman and she is very inspirational.”
