  • JEANINE DONALDSON

    EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

    “I don't know if I became a social justice warrior at Oberlin College, or if that was already in me. I did grow up in a family where they didn't really talk about race relations, but they were very proud people. They made sure education was very prominent in my family. Religion was definitely prominent in my family. “
