Making History: Create Impact in Women and Black History Month

Hope you’re soaking up the joy of Black History Month and eagerly planning for Women’s History Month! I want to kick off our conversation by acknowledging a remarkable friend, Bertha Rogers Looney—a true pioneer.

 

 

Unveiling Bertha’s Legacy

Bertha was one of the courageous Memphis State Eight, the trailblazing students who desegregated my alma mater, the University of Memphis. In honor of her bravery, I established an endowed scholarship at the university in her name. It’s a tangible way to celebrate the impact she made on my life and countless others.

 

“Make Your Mark, Leave Your Legacy”

This concept lies at the heart of my Black History and Women’s History Month program. It’s about more than just reflecting on history; it’s a call to action. Each one of us possesses the power to create impactful moments and opportunities that shape the lives of others.

 

Your Turn to Make History

As we celebrate Black and Women’s History Month, let’s not just admire the work of history-makers but actively contribute to the ongoing narrative. It’s about building on their foundation and making our mark, just as Bertha did.
