Becoming More Aware of My Environment and Intro to My Capstone Project
During my internship with Student PIRGs as a Civic Engagement Fellow and Campaign Coordinator for the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act, I have become more aware of structural inequalities related to student activism. When planning events I have become increasingly conscious of my team’s schedule, the resources they have available, and their ability to participate inContinue reading “Becoming More Aware of My Environment and Intro to My Capstone Project”
My Experience as a Civic Leadership Fellow
The transition process has been very difficult and my summer has been very hectic. I have been trying to balance summer classes, my internship, apartment problems, and personal problems. I have finally been able to get on top of things and have gotten around to writing my blogs for the summer. Because I’m working aContinue reading “My Experience as a Civic Leadership Fellow”

Map of Spaces
It’s nice to fill up space when working for a non-governmental organization, the change that is being made is impactful. At the moment, I go back and forth between working in a building named TigMAIA and the Connect Institute building. TigMAIA was created to rent out and aid in funding Connect. They’re two villas atContinue reading “Map of Spaces”

Despite having already tutored numerous times now, I felt very nervous teaching in front of my professor. However, it was a greatContinue reading “TEFL Teaching Community”

Unexpectedly, I have had new experiences with the Tallahassee community through some of the outreach and engagements I have done with PeaceJam. For example, I have entered new neighborhoodsContinue reading “Rediscovering My Cultural Community”
Solidarity in the Tallahassee Community
Solidarity in the Tallahassee community was very evident at the Inaugural Community Digital Equity Forum I attended as a part of PeaceJam Southeast at Fairview Middle School on June 27th. At this forum, community organizations, government officials, school systems, and private corporations like Comcast came together to discuss the issue of the digital equity andContinue reading “Solidarity in the Tallahassee Community”
We’re off to see…
I wouldn’t say that I have joined a new community, it’s more that I’ve entered a community and in some aspects am overlooking the community. In many aspects it is as though that while I am here I am also an outsider not being able to fully comprehend and empathize within the community. As aContinue reading “We’re off to see…”
New Environments to Be
Living in Morocco for a month is completely different than living in America. The biggest difference I’ve seen is the amount of conservativeness in the country for women. I live in Agadir which is a main city for tourists so thankfully I got lucky being around other foreigners as well. I cover up in clothingContinue reading “New Environments to Be”
