When I think of inspiration, I think of the different environments I enjoy being in because that’s where my inspiration thrives. Going to a university in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania has been an adjustment in terms of getting used to being in basically the middle of nowhere. However, one thing that Bucknell has taught me is that adapting to new settings can provide spaces to gain inspiration from.
One place that I enjoy going to is the Diversity and Inclusion space in the ELC. It’s where I’ve attended many meetings and workshops. This office has offered me a space where I can collaborate with other students and gain insight on campus related news. Currently the Bucknell African Student Association executive board has been meeting there to plan for our upcoming events. When we last met we thought about how we wanted to execute our annual BAS bash which is an annual event celebrating the organization and the cultures contributing to it. We discussed what type of things inspired us as a community and how we wanted to highlight them in the show.
This experience allowed us to share our unique ideas and help us see through different perspectives. It was important for members to share what they thought was valuable because seeing things through different lenses allows us to get a better understanding of what we want.
