Call & Response: Being Black Abroad
This is a past event, but you can watch the recording on our Instagram.
This year, in celebration of Black History Month, we’ve continued to uplift Black voices and stories with an Instagram Live bringing together IES Abroad staff and alumni in the African and African-American tradition of Call and Response. This enriching and soulful conversation focused on the Black experience while studying abroad. Held on February 23rd at 4pm CST on Instagram featuring IES Abroad Brand Coordinator, Ashley Simmons, (Granada | Spring 2016), Diversity Relations Manager, Quinn McMurtrey (Granada | Spring 2017), IES Abroad alumni Miles Nabritt (Madrid | Fall 2019) and Jordan Goode (Barcelona | Fall 2021). The four discussed the importance of accessibility, community, culture, and more, following in the spirit of Sankofa, a West-African tradition of finding value from the past and bringing it to the present for growth and prosperity.
