Kimi Mojica, director of diversi
ty education and support for the
Office of Student Life, helped
bring Rose to the University and
said she asked Rose to link the
speech to current-day issues as
well as King's life.
"I wanted her to be able to
connect with the community on
campus and bring it to a level
that reaches (students)," Mojica
said. "To kind of bring it down to
(current) day life and the deci
sions we make. She was excited to
do that."

Mojica said Rose was selected be
cause she can attract the attention
of educators and students and
make her speech relevant to
their lives.
Rose wrote a book called "Long
ing to Tell: Black Women Talk
About Sexuality and Intimacy" that
was put into print in June 2003. The
book is a collection of sexual
testimonies by 20 black women,
which "dispel prevailing myths and
provide revealing insights into how
black women navigate the complex
terrain of sexuality," according to
Rose's Web site.
