New ‘Our Roots’ podcast episode out now featuring Dr. Samantha Majhor

March 26, 2021

Marquette has embarked upon a series of exciting projects designed to give visibility and voice to women of color.  

Through the “Our Roots Say That We’re Sisters” mural project and podcast series, BIPOC women of Marquette now have space to be seen and heard. 

Read the feature story: Marq Her Words: Unsung Sheroes
Based on the colorful campus mural “Our Roots Say That We’re Sisters,” the new podcast highlights BIPOC female voices of Marquette 

Created by artist Mauricio Ramirez, the new mural showcases the diversity, richness and complexity of the Marquette and Milwaukee communities — and provides a way for campus community members to see themselves and their potential elevated, like the women on that wall. It also makes visible the interconnected nature of the experiences and struggles of many women of color. 

Similarly, the podcast project extends the impact of the mural by amplifying the voices of female-identifying students, faculty, staff, and alumnae of color who have exhibited leadership, positive impact, or social change in their personal or professional roles — especially those who remain unsung “sheroes”. 

This week’s episode tells the story of Dr. Samantha Majhor, assistant professor of English.
