Hear Our Heels: Becoming Visible in the Academy (1)
Dr. Mack was encouraged by the persistence of Dr. Martin Luther King in relaying his “I Have a Dream” message. Therefore, she is passionate about consistently highlighting issues pertaining to women of color in the academy. Dr. Mack proceeded to show data that suggest barriers to success for women of color, including marriage, finances and health.
Plenary I: Speaker: Dr. Kelly Mack
Dr. Mack will focus on the societal pressures that disproportionately impact women of color (wealth gap, health disparities, etc.) How does this play out in the academy? Why is there a need for urgency?

This conference is such an encouragement! Being surrounded around so many women of color in academia is an uplifting experience.
