About Me

I just graduated from URI with a BA in History and a double minor in Spanish and Leadership Studies. I have returned to URI to study Writing & Rhetoric. Upon completion of the Writing degree I will go to law school to study International Law. My desire to write this blog comes from the constant media attention on political figures and their antics. I also wanted to write this blog to highlight important issues for my peers and fellow young adults just in case they do not find joy in watching their local news.

Inclusive Leadership

70.
Students will demonstrate
 knowledge of McIntosh’s theory of 
privilege and its relationship
 to leadership



"In proportion as my  racial group was being confident, comfortable, and oblivious, other groups
were likely being made unconfident, uncomfortable, and alienated.  Whiteness protected me  from many kinds of hostility, distress, and violence, which I was being subtly trained to visit in turn upon people of color." Peggy McIntosh



Point #13. I can speak in public to a powerful male group without putting my race on trial.


Point # 17. I can criticize our government and talk about how much I fear its policies and behavior without being seen as a cultural outside.

Point # 24. I can be sure that if I need legal or medical help my race will not work against me.
