20 year ago, Emily Ragland was a freshman at Guilford College in North Carolina, playing on the softball team and studying to enter the field of civil rights. The Quaker based college appealed to her as a Christian, POC woman looking to make her place in the world for the first time in her life. But on October 31st, 2003 a violent attack changed every trajectory in Emily's life and left her to fend for herself in a system that wasn't built for her. For the 20th anniversary of that horrific day, Emily shares with us her whole story, and how it's shaped who she is today.
