EAGLE

Member, Emerson's Alliance for Gays, Lesbians and Everyone. As Emerson’s website so nicely put it, “EAGLE was established to promote visibility and acceptance of queer culture throughout the campus and community. Membership is open to any student who is interested in aiding others with a personal acceptance of homosexuality. The group sponsors social, academic, and awareness functions for the community on issues relevant to queer culture.”

WECB

Podcast Co-Host on WECB Queer Consideration. Each week, my two co-hosts and I would tape our show, then edit it in order to publish a more streamlined version on our Soundcloud page, which we maintained in addition to our social media outlets of Twitter and Facebook. Every show had a theme, each centered on LGBTQIA+ and Feminist topics. We've covered things such as gender + sexuality, how "gaydar" enforces stereotype culture, and healthy sex and relationships for LGB and Trans people.

Active Minds

As a member of Active Minds, I've been lucky enough to not only have a safe space to process and maintain my mental health, but to be a support for others who are doing the same. I'm very proud to be a part of this organization, as my mental health journey has been one that's shaped me as a student, citizen, and artist.
