CV
I'm a recent graduate with deep commitments to intersectional feminism, social justice and community building. The struggle towards new futures demands an intersectional feminist politics that recognizes the ways in which our differences exist and that these differences can connect us deeply to one another against larger structures of power and oppression, with the ultimate goals of building “transformative solidarities that can generate unthought possibilities for us as human beings who care for each other” (Cannella & Manuelito, 2008).
Reflecting on and confronting our privileges and implication is crucial for struggles towards justice. I recognize my privileges and would like to utilize my experiences and knowledges to help inform others and to have conversations and actions towards making the world more just. Part of this work includes educating and positioning ourselves, being uncomfortable, unlearning and relearning, and building long-term relationships - all which are foundational aspects of anti-oppression work.
