To kick off our #WhatRUMadeOf campaign, we had the privilege of speaking to Tiffany Bennett (@ttmama33), a class of 2023 @runewark student majoring in Supply Chain Management ⭐️
Struggling with finding an identity within the Black diaspora went from being an unbearable weight on her shoulders to a liberating journey in self-identity and Black pride.
“Most of the kids that I grew up around were first-generation African or Caribbean and I didn’t have ties to a culture like that myself. For years, I wished to find myself and people like me who only knew of America and had to find their identity as being a black in America, born and raised with no other identities. My dad helped make me proud of my Black American roots.”
