Why did you choose to become a fellow?

I chose to be a fellow in this program because community has always been an important feature in my life and I wouldn’t be the person I am today without the communities I have been in.

What are you enjoying most about the fellowship so far?

I love the tight knit group that we have and how we all see eye to eye with each other even though we have had different experiences and backgrounds.
