Sometimes I ask myself, “Why would UW completely fund my education?” I’m here for myself, but I am also here for UW. There are a ton of brilliant black and brown kids in Milwaukee, but for some reason, UW was inspired to recruit me from Washington, D.C. Am I a token? Definitely. I am the projection of their illusion of a racial democracy and diversity. I’ve been given access to this institution as a means to their end.
