Aminah Gassama is an intended Anthropology/Film and Media Studies double major with a Translation Studies concentration. Born in Atlanta, Ga and of Gambian descent, she is expected to graduate from Smith College in 2025. Aminah is passionate about storytelling, particularly stories that assist in producing and preserving anti-racist theory through any accessible medium. Meridians’ commitment to Black Feminist praxis and the opportunity to better understand publishing WOC’s scholarship encouraged Aminah to apply and become a Quigley Fellow for the journal in the fall of 2022.
