Kristina “K-Will” Williams is a ’16 from the South Side of Chicago. She is a pillar in the Black community at Dartmouth and continues to be a source of strength for Black women across campus. Dedicated to bringing change to campus, Kristina consistently  speaks her truths in a space that often refuses to listen.

For her senior independent research project, Kristina examined the ways in which Black women heal or attempt to heal from the traumas they experience while at Dartmouth. She has created a website (link below) that acts as a space for Black women to express themselves and their methods of healing. Kristina writes, “Black women undergraduates and alumni have had to be creative in order to survive and heal from the toxic misogyn-noir of Dartmouth. This page is to share and reflect upon the ways in which we strive to heal ourselves and each other.”
