Kathleen

My name is Kathleen and I am a native of Shaker Heights, Ohio, but now I consider myself a “native New Yorker”. I am an undergraduate student at Fordham University double majoring in Women’s Studies and a self designed second major of architecture/urban studies/visual arts with a concentration in hip hop. I contributed to the website Teen Sisters’ Health—A Black Girl’s Wellness Guide for Mind, Body & Spirit. In my free time I dance on a hip hop team and volunteer in NYC as a member of the New York Junior League. I have a passion for combining art, activism, and social justice issues. I just finished a 6 week 1,800+ mile bike trip from New Orleans to New York City with 10 other women from across the United States for Reproductive Justice.

I am part of the Young Women of Color Leadership Council where I will make change not only in my community, but other communities as well. Last year I created Momma’s Hip Hop Kitchen: The Soup Kitchen for the Hip Hop Soul, an interactive women of color hip hop and reproductive justice event. With this event I combined my love of hip hop to help educate the greater public on reproductive justice. This event also had a focus on HIV/AIDS in communities of color and using hip hop to reduce the number of new HIV infections.
