Women have always had a hand in the way that history is made, but they often get left out of the conversation when it comes to their roles in major historical events.

This can be especially true for women in minority groups. But despite people’s tendency to overlook the contributions of women in history, it’s important to remember them because they can be role models for young women today. No one knows this better than Kassandra Gaona and Destinee Adams. Gaona was Miss Hispanic/Latina OSU 2020, and Adams co-founded Okstate Stand United.

They joined Ellie Melero to talk about some women who have made history and the importance of having these types of figures to look up to, especially as a woman in a minority group.
