Taylor Griffith’s experience in a Pan-African Studies theatre course created a deep connection to her personal heritage in a way that she had never experienced before as a student, ultimately shaping her own path forward to pursuing a career in law.

“We delved into a lot of Black literature, talking about enslaved Americans, and Black women in different eras, and it was the first time I had taken a course, read, and felt connected to the people that I was reading about,” she said.
