15. Racist Past, Current Bias, & Our Next Steps ~ Bridgette Wynn

from Your Sorority Journey · host Cassie Little

Have you ever been asked to wear “nude” heels for recruitment and not thought twice about it? This episode is for YOU ➡️ It’s been a heavy week to say the least. To gain perspective on how the sorority experience fits into the Black Live Matter movement, Bridgette Wynn shares her journey as a Black woman in a Panhellenic organization from experiencing the need to justify her affiliation to exploring the racial bias in our community. We had a super honest conversation about our collective Panhellenic community’s racist past, steps that have been taken/action plans shared, and how our organizations can participate better in being part of the solution. I hope you leave this episode feeling challenged to dig deeper into your organization’s history and become part of the growth toward our actions aligning closer with our values 🤍 Connect with Bridgette here: Here are the individuals Bridgette references in the episode: Jessica Ryan: https://www.vpul.upenn.edu/ofsl/staff.php#Bio%20-%20Jessica%20Ryan  Nicki Rowlett: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickirowlett/ Lawrence Ross: https://thelawrenceross.com/ Suzette Walden Cole: https://www.linkedin.com/in/swcspeaks/
