What do you plan to do after you graduate?

After I graduate, I plan to take the time to practice self care. Go on trips, spend time outdoors with friends and family, and also find peace within myself and the world around me.

For other Black students at Ryerson, I encourage you to be open to new experiences and learnings while simultaneously standing firm in your identity.
