The day starts of like all the others. Get up and getting
ready without waking my roommate. Then at eight o’clock I head out to breakfast
with Kelsey.
Class started with a discussion on how we felt after yesterday’s
activates. This conversation then leads into our feeling on the readings. Which
were about how to thrive as women in a leadership and tips from 10 women in
leadership roles. This pushed the conversation into a very intense discussion about
feminism, womanism, and male feminists.
Next we took a small tour around Brown. We visited the Van
Wickle Gates and then transition to the quiet green. Mary Grace began telling
us the history of every place we went to as we made our way to the LGBTQ
center. We stopped by many building the history that stood out the most was
about University Hall.
In 1975, many students of different races took over the
University Hall. They hung banners from the third floor window. The goal to
make sure Brown enforced the demands from the 1968 walk out. As well as having
a few more demands to present. I found this one the most interesting because
many different marginalized groups came together for one purpose, which is what
we could benefit from today.

Next we headed out to the LGBTQ center. We found out that the LGBTQ
Many different ways for self-care were thrown out into the
group. Mine was to be surrounded by me pets. The topic of men not taking part
in self-care was also brought up. For me I think there is no definite way to
say someone does not self-care because everyone does it differently.
At lunch we had a lunch and learn around choosing a song
that described how we felt with in our teams. My team ended up choosing “We are
all in this Together” by High School Musical. And then Kelsey and I headed back
to the LGBTQ to make pins/buttons. They allowed us to make any type off buttons
and it was really fun and we were able to be very creative.
After lunch we were given some time to work on our action
plans before heading out to the First-Generation College and Low income (FLi)
Student center. This center is very important to me being a first-generation
student a part of my identity and to see a space dedicated to that was amazing.
