What does being a part of NPEP mean to you?

Being part of NPEP makes me feel like I’m part of a community willing to help me grow and learn. I feel so honored to have the opportunity to be a part of this community that is molding me to be Dindra: the revolutionary, the activist, the scholar, the leader, the woman who will make a difference one day.

Why did you decide to apply to NPEP and what are you most excited about?

I decided to apply to NPEP because I believed achieving a social sciences degree is what I need to excel in the field I want to get into. I can’t discern what I’m most excited about; I think seeing how I grow as a woman and how I apply my teachings in everyday life for the betterment of society.

I would like to start my own political party.

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be?
