Hi everyone,<\/p>\n
My name is Monica Ukah and I’m a senior living in Currier. I’m a Sociology concentrator, but I love taking AfrAm courses and it’s one of my related fields so this class has been on my list of classes to take for a while. My academic interests include: race in America, class identity, media and pop culture, gender representation, and the intersectionality of all of these subjects! One of my favorite essays I’ve written explored fashion choices (trends, stores shopped at, and hair styles) manifested amongst black women here at Harvard and the effects they have on ideas of class consciousness on campus.<\/p>\n
On the topic of fashion,\u00a0\u00a0I recently completed an internship at Saks Fifth Avenue this summer.\u00a0As graduation looms closer (and the job search gets more real), I’ve begun to explore\u00a0a career in the fashion industry in an editorial position. Alternatively, I’m also looking into retail, and or\u00a0branding\/marketing consultancies.<\/p>\n
I sing on campus with Harvard Keychange (shameless plug here’s a link to one of our song performances<\/a> you guys should all come to our fall concert, best believe I’ll pass flyers around section when the date gets closer:) ) and I’m very involved with the black community on campus as a BCL co-chair and member of BSA and ABHW.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi everyone, My name is Monica Ukah and I’m a senior living in Currier.
