@lauragonferstudio

One of Samantha Branshaw’s first memories from Santiago, Chile – where she studied abroad two years ago – was from the International Women’s Day parade her host mom took her to.
“I had never seen such a colorful and exuberant celebration of women in my entire life,” said Branshaw, the president of Las Naranjas.
Las Naranjas, a Spanish language and culture club at Syracuse University, hosted its inaugural Día de la Mujer event Tuesday night to celebrate International Women’s Day. Branshaw helped organize the event, created to provide a rich history of the holiday and celebrate the importance of women in Latin America.
