How I Am #RedefiningHERstory: Becoming a Social Activist

Originally posted on Truth In Reality.

I think I’ve always wanted to be an activist. When I was younger, social injustices would make me furious while my peers would shrug and go, “Well, what can you do?” And I couldn’t answer that question. I didn’t know what I could do. Or rather, I thought that there was nothing I could do. I believed that activism was something that other better stronger people could do. So I did other things. I pursued a career in academia because I figured at the very least my work at an educational institution could change students’ lives by expanding their minds.

Time jump!

Almost two years since I last posted. Wowsa. Lots has changed. Too much to put in one post. So... it will come out slowly over time. Maybe.
