In this clip, a first-gen Pacific Islander UW student shares how much she appreciates the PI community at UW and how she hopes to continue to make spaces for more PI students. She discusses the different programs that helped her connect with students at UW and carve out a space where she felt supported and seen. As president of her own club she wants to continue making these spaces and offering haven for students in a system that wasn’t built for them.
We all are trying to navigate in a big system that’s pretty much set up against us not gonna lie… so when I had found that it was kind of like fulfilling for me.
