“Perspectives matter. That’s what Abby Phillip, Honorary Member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated and CNN Senior Political Correspondent, told attendees — many of whom represented Delta chapters from across the Garden State — during Kean University’s Distinguished Lecture Series on Feb. 28. “We are all obviously influenced by who we are, what culture we came from,” Phillip said. “It shapes what we see.” Phillip, known to many as host of Inside Politics Sunday, … made the world stand up and take notice when she was tapped to moderate a Democratic presidential candidates in 2020.” See the full article written by Eastern Region Journalist Chanta L.
