My LiA gave me so much perspective. My LiA gave me lifelong friends that are wise, funny, and unapologetically compassionate beyond words. My LiA gave me self-awareness, an appreciation of being in the moment, and the bravery :) to pursue social impact even when it's hard.
And yes, Lily beat me in a rap battle. I think we'll be having a rematch once we get back to campus.
Here's the podcast we compiled to reflect on the six weeks we spent in Cape Town, South Africa. Enjoy!
