Advertise on podcast: Inside the Margins

On this episode of Inside The Margins, we cover the controversial topic of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion also known as DEI. We talk about what it is, how it started, and who it impacts.

Inside the Margins back! Our first episode of our relaunch Is about a civil rights activist local to the Western NY area but often gets overshadowed by Fredrick Douglass and Harriet Tubman. She is a Brockport NY native, one of the founders of the NAACP and was the first black woman to ever graduate from SUNY Brockport. She even has a building named after her. Her name is Fannie Barrier Williams. I sit down with Academic Success Coordinator and the person who oversees the Fannie Barrier Scholarship program, Jianna Howard. She educates us on the significance of Fannie Barrier Williams and how the program named after her has helped students succeed at SUNY Brockport.

On this episode we speak with the Program Coordinator of the Western NY Rual Area Health Ed Center Krysta Smith. She is a Trainer in Mental Health First Aid and explains what it means to be a Mental Health First Aider.
