  Two Poems

  During a course in EcoFeminism in the Fall of 2014 I was fortunate enough to participate in a multi student trek to New York City to participate in the People's Climate March. This March went down in history

  as over 400

  000 people gathered to protest fracking and other harmful behaviors that are being practiced world-wide that are contributing to climate change. Five students rode on a bus from Athens

  Georgia to NYC

  having only short rest stops during the three-day trip. Our group traveled with the Georgia Climate Coalition and many other activists from the surrounding region in order to show support for the cause.

  Martin Lammon Reading Series Coordinator and Emcee

  Coordinating the location and readers for a graduate student reading series through the MFA program at Georgia College and State University.

  #HowSafeAreWe

  Following a lack of public response to multiple reported assaults on campus after the first week of classes

  a group of concerned students created the hashtag #HowSafeAreWe in order to urge Kennesaw State University's administration to publicly respond to these incidents. Following the creating of the hashtag and a resoundingly positive response from other students and members of the community

  meetings were held with Student Government in order to discuss our concerns and collectively decide how to move forward. The university has since released an app for students concerned about personal safety to use

  as well as discussing plans on how to make campus safety programs more accessible.

  A Voice for Them

  This installation was the first event held after YESbody was founded in August of 2014. This installation was created in order to bring attention to statistics and stories from rape and sexual assault victims. We compiled credible statistics

  quotes from survivors

  and other visual representations for victims such as underwear

  cardboard cut-outs

  bedsheets

  and a mattress (which was specifically brought out to show solidarity with Emma Sulkowicz). We gathered each morning and evening to set up and break down the display. Students were welcomed and asked to submit quotes and commentary at a station on campus green.

  Mind Body and Soul

  This event was held the weekend prior to Valentine's day. I hosted this event as the serving head of the Sex and Body Positivity Committee for YESbody. As a group of student activists

  we chose to highlight on multiple issues during each event. I collaborated with the Interpersonal Violence Center on campus

  the Feminist Women's Health Center in Atlanta

  and a Passion Parties representative from the Kennesaw area in order to start multiple conversations on campus. Four tables were set up on campus green

  each to highlight a specific issue; Masturbation

  Sexual Health and Safe Sex

  Interpersonal Violence and Relationship Abuse

  and Self-Love. As a group

  we gathered many items to host a raffle in order to raise funds for our brand-new student organization

  as this was only our second semester in action. I emceed the event.
