Stepping on campus as a freshman, Destiny Harris 鈥21 thought she had it all going for her as an outspoken, funny, and honest Black woman. But after a racial slur stopped her in her tracks, her activism kicked into gear. Since then, she鈥檚 never looked back.
Backed by many of her peers, Destiny鈥檚 strong voice speaks for the black community on campus鈥攗rging the College to respond to incidents of racial bias with a greater urgency and clarity. Putting her heart on the line, she鈥檚 beyond excited for the change that鈥檚 beginning to surface.
鈥淭hings are finally breaking through,鈥 Destiny explains. 鈥淲e鈥檝e just got to keep the fire lit, keep the momentum going.鈥
Excited to head back to campus, albeit virtually, this fall, Destiny isn鈥檛 just thrilled for her impending graduation, but eager to lead the Black Student Union. 鈥淔undamental and systematic changes are coming,鈥 and she鈥檚 ready to keep her drive going both physically and mentally.
