“I am going to, as I have been doing my best here at MSU, to be a role model,” said a teary-eyed Rev. Tammy Garrett-Williams at the 2019 Black World Conference on Feb. 14. That Valentine’s Day, she wore a fiery red suit that matched her passionate words, as she accepted a scholarship from Urban League of Metropolitan Denver. Garrett-Williams thanked her MSU Denver professors and classmates for supporting her education.
“And I just thank you so much. And stay tuned, because I’m not going anywhere,” she joked. The crowd giggled and applauded as Garrett-Williams gave one last thank you to God.
