-Nathaly Rodriguez
– Who is Nathaly?
I am a first generation latinx intersectional feminist who is ready to learn more about the people and the world around me (a student of the world). I am an immigrant raised by immigrant parents. I grew up in Philadelphia seeing people I care about struggle to live paycheck by paycheck, in a city where drugs and violence is part of most kids upbringing whether directly or indirectly. I am a student who was told that education was the way out of “the cycle” and have made it my goal to do all that I can to obtain my degree and graduate. I am passionate about social justice and want to be able to have people understand why it is so important. I am also an aunt, sister, daughter, friend and I hold those titles dear to me.
– How will you change the world?
By listening to others and trying to create sustainable solutions to issues at hands, most likely environmental issues that impact the lives of minority populations. My goal is to work with communities not against them.
– What do you want your epitaph to read?
I am unsure what I want it to read, however I know I want it to be something funny.
