Gabrielle Blakemore is a recent graduate of Bennett College for Women with a degree in Africana Women’s Studies and a minor in Sociology. She is a native of Memphis, Tennessee. Gabrielle, or  “Gabby” for short, loves to travel and experience new things. She has been connected with numerous social change and community groups and projects but something she holds dear is to be the example that she wants to see in the world. Open, loving, and strong Gabby is ready to conquer what the Belle H. Bennett House will bring not only for the year but the tools that will be used for a lifetime.
