"Not unto ourselves alone are we born."The lived experiences featured on this blog are testimonies -- "proof" that our community has work to do if we are to consider our campus a truly welcoming and inclusive place. This page was created to give strength, education, and empowerment to members of our community. Both the target and the perpetrator of the microaggression will remain anonymous in order to target ideas, not people. These experiences are not isolated incidents, but rather are manifestations of larger structural inequalities. If you see, hear, or otherwise experience racism, sexism, cissexism, trans*phobia, heterosexism, homophobia, queerphobia, sizeism, ableism, Islamophobia, nativism, classism, anti-Semitism etc., please use the submission link above.
