Bayard Rustin Intern for Activism & Education
Hey Everyone! My name is Sofia Beltran and I'm the new Bayard Rustin Intern for Activism and Education. I love freestyling, poetry, rugby, most other sports, and spontaneous activities with friends. I'm really excited about speaking about topics that strongly affect not only me, but also the whole community. I also can't wait to do some fun activities that will release some stress throughout the quarter! See y'all around!

This program is a space to talk about intersex issues that are otherwise not really talked about in our communities. As an intersex awareness program we will come together to talk about intersex issues and politics in the LGBT community. The "I" exist will be composed of the film, "Intersexion" and followed by a discussion.
