D-E’s V-Day 2026, with the theme of “Rise for our Bodies, Our Future, Our Earth,” was a stunningly powerful event organized by the leaders of the Women of Color Affinity group, Amanda Santos ’26, Ripley Chang ’27, and Yaritza Menjivar ’27, under the guidance of Dra. Ericka Collado. “In line with the global movement One Billion Rising, V-Day aims to raise awareness of women’s experiences,” said Dr. Collado, Upper School Spanish Teacher. “The performers, six Upper School faculty members, and nine students from the three divisions, presented original works of poetry, art, excerpts of books, and songs, woven into a story of shared struggles but filled with hope.” All proceeds will benefit the Women’s Rights Information Center in Englewood. Lil Corcoran, the center’s executive director, also spoke on the importance of this work. We’re grateful to all participants—our D-E citizens of the world—for their heartfelt contributions to such a meaningful annual campaign! Photo Credits: Eva Louro ‘28; Dra. Ericka Collado
