A Samoan American influencer and host of The Comment Section podcast, Drew Afualo is known for her sharp wit, contagious laughter, and fearless takedowns of misogyny on TikTok. Recognized as a TIME Next Generation Leader, a Forbes Top Creator of 2023, and Adweek’s Digital & Tech Creator of the Year, Afualo uses her platform to challenge hate while advocating for women’s rights and cultural representation. Her bold approach to calling out sexism and amplifying marginalized voices has made her one of social media’s rising stars.

The lecture, held in celebration of Women’s History Month, is presented by the Student Programming Association (SPA) and R-VOICE, in collaboration with the Paul Robeson Cultural Center, Center for Social Change, APIDA Caucus, Culture Central, and Indigenous Peoples Student Association.
