I'm starting this blog because I want my voice to be heard...or I guess read. It's my last semester of college and then I start my life in the "real world". I'm living up my last semester of college by getting involved in groups and causes that I really care about. I've learned that I have a huge passion for social justice/women's issues. Last May I went on a trip to the Virgin Islands and I met the woman who I want to become. Her name is Clemma and she runs the Women's Coalition of St. Croix. The Women's Coalition helps the women in St. Croix when they are having issues with the men in their lives and helps them get their lives together if they need help. It's exactly the type of organization that I want to work for when I graduate.
A group that I recently got involved with on campus is FORGE (Fighting for Our Rights and Gender Equality). It's the activist group on campus and I love it. Another group that is connected to FORGE is BFF (Books For Feminists). We are reading My Year of Meats by Ruth L. Ozeki, and she is coming to our campus to have a dinner with us and speak to the whole University. I'm inspiried by authors because it's something that I've thought about doing since I was young. This blog is the start of my writing career. I hope you enjoy it and are inspiried by my thoughts as I've been inspiried by the thoughts of all authors that I've read.
Book that I recomend (this will be in every entry because I love reading and I want to share with you where I get my inspiration)
