WIT's History is Women's History

To celebrate both Women’s History Month and our 50th anniversary year, we are compiling a comprehensive oral history project. The very first person we interviewed was our Program Director Irene Lindsay Brantley, a leader in WIT’s past and WIT’s present. We’ve chosen a few clips from the interview to share with you.


Hear Irene discuss what it has been like to be a Black woman in leadership at WIT over the past 25 years:

Listen to Irene give us a glimpse of what the office was like before widespread internet use:

We are thrilled to be sharing these clips from our first interview and look forward to sharing more as our oral history archive grows.
