Took a year off from college to volunteer to work with at risk children in Boston. The nonprofit organization name is City Year Inc.

Why are you participating?

To knock down social barriers and constructs of what one SHOULD BE.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

As the first American born in my Carribean family, I was able to assist my mother become a U.S. citizen. I am very grateful for that. I have also donated and sponsored a little girl named Cindy who lives in Guatemala, during my four years in college.

Why are you participating?

It is a great opportunity to express who I am, though I do not believe in "labels".

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I spent 3 years as a Resident Assistant at my school. Creating a supportive network was the best experience. My transition into college was somewhat difficult and I wanted to be there for others who were having a hard time too!

Why are you participating?

It's important to think about how 'labels' influence the way we move through spaces and our ability to affect change (because it's so often overlooked!).
