Help a QPOC find a bright and sunny future!

Hello friends, followers, and people I have never met in real life or on the internet,

For the past four years, I’ve bounced around the world of post-secondary education, starting off at a public four year university and now finishing up my time at a community college. With the end of spring term and summer fast approaching, I am reaching a crossroads in my life - do I embark on another two years of higher education or do I take some time to explore the big, scary real world? So far I’ve been pushing forward with both of these options. I’ve applied to Portland State University to finish up my degree while searching for and applying to social justice organizing fellowships and jobs in California. There’s not much more for me to do on the education front but there’s so much more I could be doing in my job search. And that’s why I have come to you tumblr! I have seen what you can do to help people realize their dreams and I’m hoping you may be able to help me realize mine by passing around my bio and resume or pointing me towards opportunities you know about.

I appreciate you all (yes, even those of you I don’t know). Thank you!

I don’t know what my future holds but I have my sunglasses on because it has to be bright.
