‘Our Roots’ podcast features scholar Jayla Taylor

Marquette’s “Our Roots Say That We’re Sisters” podcast series released this month’s episode honoring the story of Jayla Taylor, president of the Urban Scholars program and a student who embodies the spirit of true servant-leadership.

The “Our Roots Say That We’re Sisters” podcast series features women 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.”

Associated with Marquette’s campus mural project, this project showcases the diversity, richness and complexity of our campus and provides a way for campus community members to see themselves and their potential elevated. It also makes visible the interconnected nature of the experiences and struggles of many women of color.
