She and I joke that she has as many college degrees as I do, because she was there for pretty much the entire journey, from B.A. to Ph.D. Me and my Libby, on our path.

The social justice spaces that I found in graduate school help me to navigate challenging experiences and to speak truth to power.

Womenâs History Month Special: Changing Our Approach To âThe Changeâ
Coincidentally, at the beginning of March and Womenâs History Month, I started going through something that billions of women over the hundreds of years of history have been through.
