Kimberly Walters Introducution

Hello everyone! My name is Kimberly Walters, but most people just call me Kim. I’m a sophomore here at Hunter, and I currently don’t have a major declared but I’ve been thinking about majoring in chemistry. I am a first generation American. My mom is from Guyana, and my dad is from Jamaica. I’ve visited both countries when I was younger and it was such an amazing experience to see where I come from. I have an extremely large family that I am so grateful for. My grandparents on my mom’s side have 16 children, so I grew up with many cousins. My family isn’t perfect but we are very close. I’m from long island and I lived here most of my life, but I have spent a portion of my life living in Georgia. I liked living there but I much rather live here.

I decided to take this class so I can get a better understanding of gender politics. Everything that I know is derived from what I see online, and I would prefer to learn more about this in an educational environment. I’ve seen first hand how there is inequality between men and women, and I’m interested to know about the history of this. From the first day of class alone I can tell that I have so much more to learn and I’m excited to become more educated on this topic.
