Budget Cuts Affect Experience for Students of Color

Last year, two fellow classmates and I created this podcast to highlight the hidden struggles of 1st Generation College Students.

It is important to recognize the hard work and dedication of these students who are creating a legacy for themselves and their families. Being a first-generation student myself, this journey is bigger than my own personal goals, it's for my family and ancestors who have fought so hard for me to be in the position I am in today. 

S/O to Jeffrey Bates, Sabria Borom and Quortne Hutchings for being in this podcast and sharing their experiences. Also, S/O to my classmate, Sam, for helping in the crafting and audio editing of this podcast.
