Dean Speakers Celebrate Women's History Month

Dean College is hosting two prominent guests in honor of Women’s History Month. The first speaker, Femita Ayanbeku, will be giving a lecture to our community on Wednesday, March 20 at 5:30pm in the Trophy Room. Femita is a two-time USA Paralympic sprinter, motivational speaker, spokesperson for Fitbit and Ossur, and has numerous other achievements to her name. Femita graduated from Brockton High School and until recently, lived in Boston. She has overcome tremendous obstacles to achieve her goal of competing in the Paralympics and she is looking forward to sharing her story with us!

Our second guest, Kenyatta Berry, has agreed to share her journey and insight with Dean College and the Franklin community on March 27 at 5:30pm, also in the Trophy Room. She has co-hosted 2 television shows on PBS, hosted podcasts (https://firesidechat.com/kenyattaberry) and (https://www.audible.com/pd/Conversations-with-Kenyatta-Podcast/B08K57MK4J), authored a book and contributed to numerous research projects, including the 1619 project. Kenyatta has a professional background in the law and technology but became a full-time genealogist more than a decade ago after she had been researching genealogy for years while holding down a full-time job in another field.

As an entrepreneur, genealogist, attorney, author, podcaster, television host, lawyer and tech expert, Kenyatta has a broad scope of expertise to share.
