January 24, 2014- My first day at my internship, the North Carolina Council for Women (NCCWF) at the Department of Administration (DOA) located Downtown Raleigh, NC. Ms. Tara Minter interviewed me and asked me what I would like to get out of this internship. I explained. She continued to tell me what some of my duties where going to be around the office and that the Council had an event coming up February 7, 2014 called the “Go Red” event and they would like me to help them prompt it. It was an event held downtown to make women aware of heart disease and how they can live a heart health life.
Throughout those weeks as the Council is preparing for the Go Red event I was asked to prepare a press release for the event so that the department of DOA could send it out to others to gain knowledge about the event. This event was held downtown at the NC Department of Public Instruction and had numerous of sponsors participating in making the women aware of heart disease. I was then asked by the Assistant Executive Director Mary Stover-Williams and Executive Director Gale Mckoy-Wilkins to establish a Twitter and Facebook account for the Council because they have not yet mad one unlike the organizations in the Department of Administration.
Upon making the accounts I would be prompting their event and would be responsible for the live post accruing during the Go Red event. The Go Red event was a tremendous event and I gained the NC Council for Women their first 37 likes on Facebook.
Now that some
February 14, 2014- The Council discussed their Living History Symposium for the youth on March 31, 2014 and it is on Human Trafficking. Again another press release is need for this event to make the public aware of it and the key details. My rolls in planning this event where to help the executive assistant call surrounding schools to invite and encourage them to come out and learn how to protect yourself and your family form human trafficking. I also was to post details about

    I was given the wonderful opportunity to work directly with Assistant Director, Patricia Bellamy on special projects, including the In school and Ready, Set, Read! newsletters. I did not go in this internship with the expectation of sitting behind a computer and playing with Microsoft Word, but it was probably one of the most rewarding experiences. I had to dig deep for my creativity skills and step out of my comfort zone of being indecisive and learn to make decisions. Not only did I get to work with an inspiring and intelligent woman but also I’m walking away from this internship as a new person - someone who is not afraid to be…

    While working for the Columbus Foundation Fellowship, my goal is to absorb as much knowledge as possible. I am confident I will learn how to interact with external stakeholders, donars and all individuals in regards to showing how their nonprofit is making an impact. This will teach me how to take an organization’s message and not only spread it among citizens, but instill a sense of urgency for their issues. I am also confident I will learn how to accept and internalize any professional feedback given to me. My passion lies with advocating for those voiceless citizens attempting to better themselves through education. I hope to one-day advocate for low-income students because they do not always received equal opportunities as others in education.…

    An extremely controversial subject that most people do not desire to be exposed to is human trafficking. The lack of mention that human trafficking gets in the media is often ignored as people continue to pretend that it doesn’t exist. Stories of people disappearing and getting abducted are in an abundance, yet when the survivors of human trafficking report their story, nobody is willing to listen. In the void of news media reports, non-profit government organisations have released videos and articles, bringing light to the subject of human trafficking. One of the more well-known organisations include Love146 and Equality Now. News Channel, CNN has released articles pertaining to human trafficking.…

    to advocate on behalf of FCCLA to Missouri Representatives and Senators. I was among a select few from across the country who were able to experience the opportunity to serve on behalf of all FCCLA members. It was a humbling experience because I realized if I, along with other FCCLA members, would not have been able to share why we are so passionate about the organization, then we may not have received the essential funding we need from the government. This is the perfect example of how I understand what being a socially responsible leader is; being a voice and advocate for the things I am passionate about. If I believe something needs to be supported or change, then I will be out there advocating for the issue and making a difference. Not only have I acted on behalf of FCCLA, but I have also taken action on issues in my own community, such as fighting childhood hunger and collecting donations for the children’s hospital. Similarly, the Gannon Center for Women and Leadership is contributing to the greater good like I am. Furthermore, I value dedicating my time to solving issues and contributing to the well-being of…

    I was elected as the president of Interact Club during my second year as a result of my dedication and passion to the volunteer services of this organization. Within my school, I advocated and promoted the importance of offering hands-on service projects to local communities. As the leader, I delegated responsibilities to each member of my organization based on their strengths in order to maximize my group’s efficiency in completing the tasks at hand.

    I am prepared to be an RRASC intern because I finally understand that advocacy is fluid. At first, I was mistaken to believe that my advocation for justice must be limited to the intersections I stand at in the world. I am black and I am woman, so naturally I fought for causes that benefited the communities I identified with. However, after an epiphany of sorts, I came to the reality that true advocacy must never be selfishly motivated and now I understand that the people’s freedom is tied in each oppressed individual recognizing that their freedom is tied to the freedom of their oppressed brothers and sisters. I believe that RRASC holds that same vision of a unified freedom because it encompasses reproductive…
