Spotlight on Internationalization & Outreach
Today we shine the spotlight on the OTW’s Internationalization & Outreach Committee (I&O). I&O serves as the Org’s diversity advisers, advocating for the representation of cultural, linguistic, and fannish diversity in the Org. Although their focus on specific projects may shift from year to year, I&O works with all committees and workgroups as needed.
For this Spotlight, we talked to Sole G. and Priscilla, two staff members in I&O. Sole G. is an Argentinian Literature student. Her main fandoms are Johnny’s Entertainment boybands and Avengers ( mainly the comics). She’s I&O’s co-chair and Category Change lead, as well as a tag wrangler. Priscilla is a Brazilian postgrad studying in the UK. She’s a staffer in the Development and Membership and the Translation committees, and has been in way too many fandoms to mention.
