Notes from an Aspiring Humanitarian: Writings & Resources on Diversity, Inclusion, Equity, Social Justice
It’s a false notion to believe that social justice will be achieved in a linear fashion with the passage of time. It takes intentional action, and there are ebbs and flows.

I'm a Social Justice Educator and Aspiring Humanitarian who is interested in conflict resolution, improving intergroup relations, and building more equitable and inclusive communities. "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.
