Tell Us Your Good Deed

When I was a junior in high school, I founded a non-profit organization called Root Rescue. It provides health and beauty care products to local shelters and families in need. I know first hand that a person's outward appearance and hygiene are directly related to their confidence. I grew up in a family of substance abuse and my parents refused to provide the money for hair and skin related products. It's difficult to go into the world, whether it's school or the work force, without feeling confident about your appearance.

For the past four years, I've been working with a mentoring group run by undergraduate women at Clark called All Kinds of Girls. We spend time with 9-12 year old girls from the Worcester community and give them a safe space to express themselves and develop who they are as young girls and women, promoting self-esteem and nonviolence. Right now, I'm serving as the AKOG librarian, so I'm trying to expose girls to books about strong women, both fictional and real, that they can learn from. I look forward to my time with these girls every week!

I promote tolerance for and accept people of different walks of life, religions, and cultures everyday. I recognize that my way is not the only path to success and respect that.

Why are you participating?

I really hate stereotyping. It's cruel and most often, not true. Yes, I am an atheist. No, I do not hate religious people.

I volunteered at an LGBT youth group for a majority of my teens years, five years. I think about all the times I couldn't find queer resources as an adolescent, and it makes me glad I could help so many kids.
