(Erika’s Blog) We’re Already Speaking Out; Time to Speak UP
Posted By QWOC+ Boston Intern on July 23rd, 2010
As is common for most college undergraduates, I recently had a brainstorming session on what I should do with my life, whereupon it came down to two possibilities: writing or real estate development. Two very different career paths – one of which happens to be potentially more lucrative and thus more practical than the other. [...]

[Erika's Blog] My Last Intern Post — The Summer Ends With A Pause
Posted By QWOC+ Boston Intern on August 17th, 2010
f there’s anything I regret this summer, it’s the fact that I did not get the chance to give all of you a hug good-bye last night after we celebrated the commencement of my internship with cake, photos, and, of course, Japanese food. However, I think it’s the most appropriate departure I could have given – a cliffhanger, as opposed to a definite end.
[Erika's Blog]Expected, Accepted, and Embraced: Thoughts on My First QWOC Week
Posted By QWOC+ Boston Intern on August 9th, 2010
Indeed, to say that QWOC Week is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before would be a hell of an understatement. It’s worlds away from that singular day in Vegas where, though perhaps welcome, I still felt alien and alone. This past week, I felt expected, accepted, and embraced, which is what I think QWOC Week is all about. I was taken out of my comfort zone so many times and put into a place that was even more comfortable and if it hadn’t been encouraged, I would never have known.
