What motivates you to be visible on campus?

I am a proud queer professional and URI alum, who believes in living authentically. I’ve been Safe Zone certified as both a student and staff member. When not on campus, I perform locally throughout New England as drag king Mx. Mingle, using queer joy and self-expression as a form of resistance and revolution.
