"Notes from an Aspiring Humanitarian" is my blog, where I write about issues of diversity, inclusion, equity, and social justice. By exploring social identities through written word, film & video, and other forms of media, I hope to continue to expand and enrich conversations about social issues that face our society, and to find ways to take social action while encouraging others to do so as well in their own ways.

    The 10 Commandments are a beautiful spoken word project! Sadly, the same microaggressions I encountered at PWI’s starting in elementary school continued all the way thru grad school. Obviously, they still remain- decades later. The struggle is, indeed, real.
