Description: Personal statement: "By living in my truth, I honor the fight of those who came before me and paved the way. Their sacrifice is constantly challenged through hate crimes and legislation and I will not allow ignorance to stand. As a Black queer woman and an aspiring human rights lawyer, I will use my power to challenge and dismantle the system that has turned a blind eye and neglected my communities for so long. All power to all the people." Maya is a senior majoring in Political Science.
