Social Justice And Equity

Social justice and equity would be an area of interest since I have worked closely with the Institute for Dismantling Racism, and Hispanic League, both located in Winston-Salem, NC. These organizations fight structural and cultural barriers through various activities (i.e. community events, caucuses, etc.) to promote community inclusiveness and cultural understanding. My experience with these organizations gives me first-hand experience with common social justice and equity issues that may occur throughout North Carolina. Fighting for social justice and equity is a passion of mine that I have enjoyed pursuing in my academic career. My passion for this topic and people, as well as, my experience greatly increases my interest for this focus
area.
