A Conversation with 2022-2023 Student Body President Taliajah “Teddy” Vann

“Many people told Student Body President-elect Taliajah “Teddy” Vann that it would be impossible for her to win the election. ‘There were a lot of people who, in my opinion, did not think that it was possible for me to win the Student Body Presidential election. They thought that it would be especially impossible for any Black woman to win with two Black women on the ballot. Those people could not have been more wrong,’ she said. Instead of succumbing to pressure, Vann chose to view her doubters as a sign that she was doing something right.”
