As part of the
#OVCforChange initiative, OVC student-athletes, coaches and administrators will engage in dialogue to help shape a course of action and invoke change on a variety of social issues impacting their lives.
This week's feature is with SIUE junior tennis student-athlete
Raillane Kamdem. A native of Grapevine, Texas, Kamdem was 7-1 in singles play in 2019-20.
What are the responsibilities of the individual in regard to issues of social justice?
"An individual is responsible for speaking out against the inequality of their peers and people of their likeness because it is morally the right thing to do. I feel as though there is nothing more simple and right than that answer. I believe any individual born with more privilege than another has a moral right to be an advocate for those less fortunate than them. Those are the values America claims to stand behind."
