Hello! I’m Jada
I am a rising junior at Wesleyan and am an African American Studies and English double major. I currently work at the Resource Center as Race and Ethnicity intern and the Writing Workshop as a tutor. I am passionate about writing and social analysis and critique and how using both of these mediums can help us all critically think about our biases and ultimately push forward social justice.
