Listen to two, dynamic alumnae share their personal experiences as first-generation students who have harnessed the power of their communities to gain confidence, generate opportunities and achieve important social change while at Cornell and today. Our guest speakers, Danya Contreras (ENG ‘13) and Michelladonna (Dyson ‘20), have found strength in and are committed to uplifting the historically marginalized communities of which they are a part. REALTALK is an annual speaker series presented by the Cornell Gender Equity Resource Center (GenEq) and sponsored, in perpetuity, through an endowment established by the sisters of Delta Gamma (DG). REALTALK’s mission is “to present Relatable, Empowering, Authentic Leaders who share candid, personal stories to engage and inspire the diverse community of women and gender-expansive students at Cornell.”
