She also describes her initial perception of Johns Hopkins, as well as how that perception has changed over time. Morris is an active member of the Black Faculty and Staff Administration (BFSA) and has worked on several initiatives to support the visibility and equitable treatment of Black staff at the university, which she discusses in this interview.
