This Women’s History Month, we want to highlight ten Antiochian women who, in their own way, are advocating for equity, diversity, and inclusion. Read profiles of the Chair of Antioch’s Board of Governors, a student bringing sex therapy to her Japanese-American community, a writer excavating her past, a documentary filmmaker helping others tell their stories, an educator empowering students, a therapist working on the problem of Black maternal mortality, a dean passionate about reaching underserved populations, and a mobility activist fighting for safer streets.
