For years the MSA team has been having meaningful 1-on-1 conversations with students and questions are often the same as those of your peers. In our efforts to constantly work toward collective liberation and to help demystify the loneliness oppressive systems sometimes make us feel, we thought a space for our community to ask questions and for the MSA team to respond might serve as one point in your constellation of support and reflection. Like you, the MSA team is just a bunch of random humans with life experiences that both guide our intention and limit our personal scope. Answers won’t be perfect (because perfection has oppressive roots) but they are crafted with care and intended to help us all collectively learn to be in better solidarity with one another. The vibe is newspaper advice column, but liberating.
