It Takes A Village

The full Nigerian (Igbo) proverb reads, “It takes a village to raise a child”. This quote resonates with me when thinking of my value for community, which is also a value of Oregon Women in Higher Education. I wouldn’t be where I am today without support from my chosen family, community, and mentors. From dropping out of high school, to becoming a scholar-practitioner activist & community leader, I know the importance of having people around you who share values and identities. As a femme with multiple oppressed identities, I know this work can causes serious burnout. Affinity or other forms of community engagement might be critical just to survive the work day, especially in areas like the Pacific Northwest.
