My name is Owen and I am aN Academic success and scholarship workshop facilitator. I am currently studying computer science at bmcc and I helped to create this website! For this exhibition,  I interviewed a female change maker about her experiences growing up as a woman of color and about her advocacy work as a peer-mentor. I am excited about the opportunity to learn more about the suffrage movement and more specifically about the stories of influential women of color during the movement.

My name is Khadiza Nesa and my major is Computer Information system, and this is my 3rd semester at BMCC and a second semester working for ASAP as a tutor and Supplemental instruction leader.
Besides working on the computer, I like to read about history, and fantasy and sci-fi books. Since I began reading about African American women in the suffrage movement, I have learned a lot about women’s empowerment and how they fought for their civil rights. I decided to participate in the Exhibition because I want to learn more about the history of women’s voting rights and about these women’s lives.

My name is Opeoluwa Olaniyan, I am a Math SI leader for ASAP, and also the Vice President of the Asap premedical society at BMCC. I graduated from BMCC June 2019 with an associate degree in Science, and I am currently at Hunter college with a Biological science major. I also have a passion for music. I believe that all women should have the right to vote freely without any form of coercion. I will be performing some inspiring music for the exhibition, and I hope that through this medium, women can find their voice and strength once again.

My name is Jessica and I am an English tutor for ASAP. I graduated from BMCC with a degree in Liberal Arts in 2018, and I am now in my last semester at Hunter, getting my BA in Political Science with a minor in Public Policy.
Politics and history has always been written and controlled by those with the most power. I am very excited to be a part of this project and to learn more about those women who were not given the recognition they deserved during the fight for the right to vote in the United States.

I am a graduate from BMCC majoring in literature and creative writing. I am an avid reader, passionate writer, and aspiring teacher. I am dedicated to fighting for social justice in areas that affect people in my community and beyond, such as police brutality, prison reform, and women’s rights. I am happy to be a part of this exhibition because it allows ME the opportunity to learn about women of color from the past and their fight for equality.

I am a computer science major currently attending BMCC, set to graduate in the Spring 2020 semester. A keen interest in the technical field and desire for a platform where others may share their experiences led me to aid in the creation of this website. Taking part in this exhibition has allowed me to bear witness to a number of moving stories and gain a better understanding of history, something I wish to share with any and all who view the exhibition.

My name is Yan Wang, and I am an ASAP Accounting tutor. I participated in the ASAP women exhibition project because I believe that the right to vote is an important part of civil rights. Thanks to the contributions of early women suffragists, especially those suffragists who were women of color, women can now exercise the right to vote and participate in government work. As one of the ASAP women exhibition participants, I am excited to read, learn, and tell the stories of these women in the suffrage movement.

I am an ordinary woman learning and doing extraordinary things.  Born and raised in The Gambia, EAST Africa, my vision is to create a safe environment where conversations and ideas are born regarding Mental Health and Education.

I am a senior at Columbia University majoring in Biology. Being the daughter of a caring nurse and an altruistic father, I decided to choose a career that focuses on wellbeing for others. I aspire to become a neurosurgeon and understand the exhilarating nature of the human brain.
