I am beyond amazed, but grateful to be honored by my alma mater as a distinguished alum, especially alongside so many great people! My time at Hendrix College truly were the most formative years of my life. I learned so much about how to think critically about the world and those experiences granted me a rare lens to view society, politics, race, gender, religion, and culture at large. It helped me define who I wanted to be as a human being and how to live that life with purpose in action. I credit Hendrix to this day for many of the doors opened and leading me on the career path I’ve taken thus far. IYKYK Hendrix is truly a uniquely, special gem in the state of Arkansas. Thank you for this honor, but I thank you more Hendrix for creating a safe space in academia for young minds to find their voice and shaping a purpose drive life for myself and others.
