Colgate University Alumna Recognized

/
The timing is pretty remarkable

The irony is not lost on me. Just the other day, I get a message from Doug, Colgate alumni, sharing an article that was posted recently in support of Black History Month.. https://gocolgateraiders.com/news/2019/2/21/volleyball-black-history-month-salute-autumn-mckenzie-97.aspx

Awesome to be recognized! Still, my first reaction is to shy away from the attention. I want my little to girls to realize that the possibilities are endless and I believe exposure is a great part of that. Last week I encouraged people to embrace their gifts and share them with the world. Who am I to do differently?
