While tabling, IContinue reading “Legal Aid Inequalities and Capstone Project”

Some societal conditions that are exacerbating these inequalities are gender biases, gender-based discrimination, gender norms, and societal expectations. During my experience I have witnessed this first-hand both for others and for myself as well. The picture provided shows meContinue reading “Gender Inequality in the Community”
My 2nd Week with PeaceJam
The structural inequality that I have become more attuned to in the local Tallahassee is the access to quality education. Through PeaceJam, I have been able to work with Leon County Schools’ Pop-Up Preschool. Pop-Up Preschool brings free preschool programs to children 3-6 in the local Tallahassee community. These children have the opportunity to willContinue reading “My 2nd Week with PeaceJam”
