What motivates you to be a changemaker in your community?

The persistence of historical injustices that perpetuate cycles of oppression fuels me to be a changemaker in my community. By addressing these historical legacies head-on and fostering solidarity among marginalized groups, I aim to build a more equitable community.

My Capstone

Focus Area: Incarceration and the Judicial System

My capstone project brings awareness to the barriers those leaving incarceration face when reentering society in Indiana. My project will program a “re-entry simulator,” a game-like activity that mimics the first days outside of prison: obtaining identification, meeting parole requirements, or filing for food stamps. In conjunction with the activity, participants will hear anecdotal stories and historical lessons addressing the racialized reality of recidivism from a trained facilitator.
