  • Kailyn Standifer

    Kailyn Standifer was raised in South Central, Los Angeles, where she witnessed the misrepresentation of her community via over policing, a lack of educational programs, and negative media portrayals. She recognizes education as a basic need rather than a privilege, and seeks opportunities to create equity for students of color. Volunteering as a mentor for students of color from middle school to junior college, she recognized and related to their struggles. Her involvement with the Umojia Program and experience in ethnic studies courses provided her with solutions to close the equity gap. She is fascinated with the intersectionality people experience and how those outcomes affect families and communities alike. She believes people’s stories have valuable lessons and the power to inspire change. As a junior at the University of California, Davis, majoring in English, she intends to share the stories of others and represent her community with pride.
