Soft Launch of the Research Project: ‘Looking Back and Reaching Forward - Commemorating the International Decade for People of African Descent and the Human Rights of Women and Girls'

“Women of African descent have been the most oppressed and vulnerable group of women for 500 years; because of the exploitation, because of the building of an identity that was not ours, and a building of a narrative that has kept us discriminated against. And so, in the event that we have another decade [on people for African descent]. I have already placed in my report to the United Nations in November of this year the perspective that if we have another decade that it must also focus on issues related to women of African descent. We cannot for another 10 years be at the bottom of every relevant statistic globally.”

The Pilgrim’s Path: A Journey Beyond the Adventure

When I first heard about the opportunity to journey on El Camino de Santiago, I was originally drawn to the adventure of the trip. I did not know very much about pilgrimage of any sort at that point. Through the class in the spring and over the 160 miles walked in 13 days across Spain I came to discover a deeper spirituality within myself that was life changing.
