I didn't start off as an activist, but after being welcomed into an environment where my voice could be heard, and was encouraged to be heard. it was in my undergrad that I started to find my voice and speak on issues that were very important to me such as racism on the campus, as well as the racism I have faced away from school, and hate toward the LGBTQIA+ community.
As you scroll down this page, you'll be able to see the progression of my public speaking skills in order from my first talk my freshman year all the way down to the second semester of my senior year. I ask you to also listen to what my fellow speakers had to say in these talks as well, for they were also fabulous speakers in their own right.
