PAD2014: Day 47

Table Time: an event where we gather to discuss relations and race dynamics within our fellowship. I am truly grateful because I realize there are few to no other organizations at school that really discuss barriers to being a multiethnic community. 

PAD2014: Day 46

Spent the day cooking, updating my hair and hanging out with my mentee! 

Photo of the day 46 shows the before-and-after of a dish I've been wanting to make for a while: roasted sweet potato hash!

PAD2014: Day 44


This week's Encounter was spent building Caregiver Kits for AIDS/HIV caregivers in Swaziland. It was amazing to encourage the fellowship to stand with people fighting for justice through selfless love on the other side of the world. This chalk drawing represents our decision to partner with them in the fight against the epidemic.

PAD2014: Day 43

Meeting up for accountability. The beauty of having multiethnic sisters means that we can encourage and confide in each other, but also get help on Spanish homework!

PAD2014: Day 37

This photo features responses from our Encounter on justice and the gospel, and how we play a role in bringing God's heart for social justice into a reality. It was a powerful night featuring a lot of artistic responses, more photos below! 
My friend Asha performs to spoken word artist Propaganda in a piece called "Justice and the Gospel," with Duke Ellington and John Coltrane's "In A Sentimental Mood" in the background.



PAD2014: Day 39


Spent the day exploring Old Town Pasadena...I love the city hall there!
