65 Meet Lena Williams

Published: May 31, 2021, 3:45 p.m.

Meet Lena Williams, a thirty-something information technology specialist at Indiana University. Breaking through the glass ceiling, in a male dominated field, can be impressive on its own, but when you factor in the fact that she\u2019s black, in a predominantly white campus, one is able to idolize her resolve and fortitude. Although Lena was raised in a white male dominated home-life, racism was never a factor in Lena\u2019s day-to-day living, until her late teens, when her baptism of fire rained on her the feelings of inadequacy and intolerance, both subtle and overt, she would face this intolerance with grace and composure. Never one to shy away from a fight, Lena\u2019s anger was tempered with great wisdom, and she quickly realized, with thanks to her mother\u2019s wise counsel, that one cannot shy away from a fight worth fighting, especially when one\u2019s moral countenance is on the line.
