2017 is the year of the progressive selfish savage. Do you, grow and glo, and fuck anything or anyone that tells you different. 2016 served us unlimited L's, so turn those loses into lessons and fucking go hard next year.

Plenary 4: Karla Jackson-Brewer

I have many thoughts on her plenary... As it relates to women in the professional sphere, it reminded me of all the contrasictions that women face in the tricky climate of male-dominated areas. Compassionate isn't women being "too soft;" on the contrary, it takes strength to effectively assess others' experience--however emotional they may be to digest and understand--and then take the most professional and respectful option of taking into account and distancing oneself from it at the same time. Knowing balance requires knowledge and power in order to create it. Otherwise, one cannot realize and employ the power one inherently possess if they aren't knowledgeable about themselves and their own limitations: self-knowledge. Cognizance of my surroundings are only imperative to my growth and that of my sisters. "My evolution is not my own." All in all, a very spiritual experience and essential.

Parenthood, Work, and Families As it pertains to women's extra efforts in the strives of achieving better for oneself while growing and maintaining a family, I believe this image perfectly encapsulates the ambitious mother's resilience. Burdened with the insurmisable levels of pain, regenerated with each contraction over the course of several hours in order to deliver her child, this mother never loses sight of her priorities and lends no excuse to her pregnancy in hindering her progress. Unaligned with the over-simplified mainstream view as the young mother too over-burdened and exhausted for higher education and responsibilties outside of the home-making and child-rearing, this mother--especially as a minority--escapes these patriarchal notions of inferiority and feebleness. She does so by demonstrating and exercising her academic priorities in the midst of such emotionally and physically demanding circumstances, never allowing these to define any deficiencies to her mental capacities.

The Hunting Ground screening

The idea of watching a feminist production dealing with the salient issue of sexual assault relevant to myself as an undergraduate in a major university with a massive campus and an even larger student body concentrated in just relatively close proximities intrigued me. It would address the issues of victim-blaming, face-saving, extortion, outright misogynistically-motivated cover-ups in the names of securing the institutionmalized assets of revenue-incuring student athletes... But I wasn't prepared to be feel more intimidated by the risks associated of being a female student and having the blame already implied to be in my posession by the school under which any sexually-motivated assault could be driven, more so aggravated if the perpetrator in question is a beloved athelete and publicly-recognized achiever. In a first-account Gasland-esque roadtrip-style investigation, the group of young women traveled cross-country and interviewed members of the victimized community of sexual assaultees on college campuses in order to gather their accounts and form a solified range of experience and attempt to fathom a theory based on the all-too-familiar narative of rape on campus. Not only was I appalled at the extents that administrative officials and supposedly "well-intending" staff with counseling and guidance under ther job descriptions would misdirect them into silence and injustice for biased and unbecoming preservations of reputations, but at the exercise of PR in the most inappropriate contexts.

Plenary 1: Laura Rankin Rankin enlightened me to the deceptive practices of the tunnel-visioned agendas of conversative groups such as the CPC, or "Crisis Pregnancy Centers" strategically located across legitimate Planned Parenthood clinics in order to swindle unsuspecting and confused expecting mothers, or such as the completed warped data-presentation provided by the Americans United for Life group as noted in Rachel Maddow's segment above. Not only did she recall the existence of the institutions that employ themselves as politically and sometimes religiously-motivated vehicles of anti-abortion legislation and practices, but of the adverse social effects perpetuation of such anti-abortion culture has on women. One of her most profound questions had to be in my opinion when she pointed out how 1 in 3 women would eventually seek abortion as a means to cope with life's unintended events or simply know someone who has had to familiarize themself with the process. Facing the realization that such an intimate statistic would affect and reflect my experience as a women in the midst of adversity from agenda-based conversations dictating the freedom and liberty of my choices of those of people I love influenced me beyond measure.

I only wish I was this eloquent and feminist-thinking at that age.
