Westridge Upper School Affinities in Conversation with Distinguished Young Alumna Award Winner Bianca Mabute-Louie ’08

Ahead of Alumnae Weekend 2022, Westridge’s Upper School students in the Korean Affinity, Chinese Affinity, and the Black Student Union and other interested students discussed topics including racial justice, activism, and creating change as a young person with this year’s Distinguished Young Alumna Award Winner Bianca Mabute-Louie ’08. Mabute-Louie is a researcher, educator, and racial justice consultant with experience facilitating transformative conversations and mobilizing diverse communities for racial justice. She shared her Westridge experience, her post-grad journey, and her experience in activism and community organizing with those gathered.
