Welcome to the introductory episode of The Women Who Saved History podcast, a special series that celebrates the hard work of Nevada women who have made noteworthy contributions to preserving our state’s history. This podcast is produced by Women of Diversity Productions Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching women's lives and, consequently, society as a whole, by giving visibility to women and fostering a future that values and celebrates women. Today’s panel discussion is led by Erica Vital-Lazare, a Women of Diversity Board Director and Professor of Creative Writing and Marginalized Voices in Dystopian Literature at the College of Southern Nevada. She is joined by two other Women of Diversity Board Directors, Su Kim Chung and Claytee White, along with the Women of Diversity President, Denise R Duarte. Su Kim Chung is the Head of Public Services in Special Collections and Archives at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) University Libraries; Claytee White is the Director of the Oral History Research Center at UNLV; and Denise R Duarte is a multi-disciplinary and socially-engaged artist. In today’s conversation, you’ll learn how Su Kim first conceived of this podcast, the women who inspired her, and why it’s so important to make their efforts visible, especially during this tumultuous time in our country’s history. We discuss the founding of Women of Diversity, its mission, and why the organization is so intent on embracing new forms of media, before getting better acquainted with the women we’ll be hearing about in future episodes. Tune in to discover the hard work of these noteworthy women, how we can celebrate them, and the praiseworthy efforts of our guests in creating a women-appreciated future!
