As part of International Education Week, the OCSE and OP offices are happy to sponsor keynote IEW speaker, Candace Doby! Candace offers real talk about what motivated her to travel abroad as a black woman, how her first trip abroad at 27 changed her, and how she uses skills gained from travel as a marketing executive at Chipotle Mexican Grill. Candace, who has now traveled solo and accompanied to 14 countries, shares her thoughts on engaging people of color to go abroad, using her own perspective as a black woman navigating race and power in this world. Sharing personal travel stories and ways to support black students to identify and manage their fears about traveling abroad through a framework of courage. She also offers how travel can help one have a more global understanding of self and serve as a tool for a more robust career.
