As a storyteller, racial justice educator and organizer, Virginia’s work sits at the intersection of community advocacy and creative activism. After serving as the director of community engagement and social equity at The University of Texas from 2016 - 2020, with a heart to elevate the voices of people of color whose stories are often siloed or ignored, she co-birthed Rosa Rebellion, "a platform for creative activism by and for women of color.” Beyond Rosa Rebellion, Virginia serves a racial justice educator, advising brands like Bumble, lululemon, the World Economic Forum and speaking around the world at programs like SXSW, the Social Impact Festival and more.

She co-authored the book As We Saw It: The Story of Integration at The University of Texas and is the recipient of several honors, including Anti-Defamation League’s Social Justice Award, Austin 40 Under 40, and The University of Texas Outstanding Young Texas Exes award. She holds a BA in history from Williams College and a MA from the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs.
