My favorite thing(s) about Wichita are the people in it. The community here is very kind and welcoming and are what make Wichita feel like home.
If I could change one thing about the world it would be the dominant economic system. I don't believe we can truly create long lasting change for the people under a system that values profit over them. It will never be profitable for us to fix the greatest problems we're facing today and it's monetary incentive that will drive earth into the ground. This system promotes personal benefit over the collective good and only through diligent hard work and solidarity can we possibly hope to create a system that's truly by the people and for the people.
Politics/social justice, music, roller skating, athletics/weight lifting, and random things I find intriguing.
Living my best life! I hope that my career is taking off and I will be making a change within our society. I also hope to be well-traveled when I'm thirty.
How diverse Wichita is! Everyone is unique and comes from different walks of life, but what we all have in common is a desire for our community to thrive!
Ignorance and oppression. I believe that without those two factors we would be able to create a better way of life for everyone, no matter who you are
