You want to send more students of color abroad and don’t know exactly how to approach this goal. Perhaps it feels uncomfortable to authentically talk about this topic in your organization, particularly if you (and even your office) are not of color. In this new webinar, Candace Doby breaks this sensitive topic down for you with tips, marketing ideas, and storytelling.
Description
Candace Doby didn’t begin traveling internationally until she was 27. The opportunities to do so beforehand were muddled in fear of physical harm, rejection from people at home and abroad, and fear of failure. It wasn’t until she read books, heard tales from friends, and did research that she began to recognize the value of travel. In this presentation, Candace, who has now traveled solo and accompanied to more than a dozen countries, shares her thoughts on how study abroad advisors can engage people of color to go abroad, using her own perspective as a black woman navigating race and power in this world. She shares personal travel stories and offers tips on how to support black students to identify and manage their fears about traveling abroad through the 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.
