Women Build is Habitat for Humanity’s annual, worldwide event engaging women in an effort to support affordable, quality housing. This year I am raising money to honor the memory of my sister, Dr. Leith Mullings, who died from cancer in December 2020. Dr. Mullings was a scholar, who leaves a body of work on the foundations of racial and class oppression and the intersectionality of race, class, and gender. Above all, she was an activist and public intellectual who worked tirelessly to combat racism and all forms of social inequality, locally and globally. She mentored, worked with, and inspired a generation of scholars and activists who will carry forward her work. Leith was a mother, a sister, an aunt, a grandmother, a grand aunt, and a friend. I will be joining with women throughout our community to empower local Habitat families. I believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, and I am asking for your help. I may not be able to roll up my sleeves and swing a hammer this year, but I have a goal to raise at least $5,000 to help build a roof to shelter and foundation from which this family can thrive. Leith would be honored to know that money was being raised in her name to help build a house. Please donate today and show your support.
