As part of International Education Week, Sydane Morrison, ‘26 G, hosted an event titled “Island Resilience: Caribbean Women and Future of Equitable Leadership,” through the Gender, Leadership and Empowerment Center. 

The discussion, held on Nov. 21, examined the history of female Caribbean leaders in precolonial, colonial and modern-day eras. 

Morrison said the event was held to illustrate how Caribbean women are shaping the future of equitable leadership. He said his goal was to inspire women to become advocates for what they believe in and to empower people to foster more inclusive environments.

“Throughout history, we’ve seen how Caribbean women are resilient,” Morrison said. “I felt that it was important to speak about how they became resilient and how their resilience has helped shape the economy, the social lives and the well-being of the people of the Caribbean and the greater world.”
