Episode 2: The Audacity to Reimagine with Valerie Brown '98 and DeLise Bernard '98

Valerie Brown and DeLise Bernard are members of Stanford’s Ladies of ‘98. They, along with  the other ladies of ‘98 led a fundraising campaign to construct a teaching kitchen in the Black House’s Henry and Monique Brandon Family Community Room. Their imagination of what the Black Community Services Center could become will open new ways for our community to use the Black House. The first phase of this project will start this year with remodeling the main entrances to create an easy flow between  our community room, deck, and main building. Moderating today’s conversation with Valerie Brown and DeLise Benard is Josie Amoo. Josie is a junior from Scotts Bluff, Nebraska. They are majoring in Environmental Systems Engineering and African and African American studies. They are involved in Black Student Union, Stanford African Students Association, and Black Gender Marginalized Collective. Let’s listen in on Josie’s conversation with Valerie and DeLise, as they discuss how their experiences at the Black house provided them with the fuel they needed to make an impact both during their lives at Stanford and after graduating.   ---- Instagram: @blackhousesu Youtube: stanfordblackcommunityserv8606
