Koren Dennison, MA

Evaluator & Communications Strategist

Koren Dennison was born and raised in Milwaukee by a village of strong Black women. Strongly believing in community and aware that her accomplishments are extraordinary for folks where she's from, it is imperative for Koren to responsibly pass the torch.

Koren, joyous Black woman, radical change maker, defies statistical odds to achieve success and currently works as an Evaluator and Communications Strategist at Ubuntu Research and Evaluation. She is committed to displaying to other young Black girls the power they possess to write their own narrative and consequently change others' lives.

Koren is a first-generation double alumnus of Marquette University where she studied Corporate Communications, was heavily engaged in the on campus community through dance and leadership, and consistently exposed the dominantly-white student body to Black Girl Magic wherever she went.

During her service learning studies abroad in South Africa, Koren interned for U-Turn Homeless Ministry, where they "equip people with skills to overcome homelessness." Koren is prepared to utilize components of their structure as relevant in this context

From this, she's acquired the skillset to combat white supremacy and anti Black ideals by serving the Black community through collaboration and constructive consultation. This allows Koren to tangibly take steps to create the world she and other Black people deserve to live in.

Koren's personality can be described as infectiously energetic, candid, eager to learn and try new things, philanthropic, and uproarious. Her driving motivators are setting an example for her little brother, making her family proud, and inspiring Black youth.

She is ardent in her pursuit of breaking generational curses and establishing generational wealth.
