19. Navigating Sorority Membership as a Woman of Color ~ Cierra Venable

It’s been too long since we’ve had a collegian on the podcast! Meet Cierra ~ rising sophomore in Phi Mu at James Madison University. As she navigated quarantine and the recent racial movements just like the rest of us, she also went through a realization that her sorority membership differed from her sisters’ experience. On the episode, she shares her perspective as one of the two Black women in her chapter, the research she’s done, and the role she’s taken to educate her sisters with her story {virtually!}. After reflecting on her recruitment experience, we talk about the potential for growth in diversity & inclusion through the unique virtual/hybrid formats this year! 🤍 For a new perspective on a highly discussed topic, make sure to tune in!
