I'm forever changed, you are forever changed: Nataya, a communications student at Washington State University, is writing to capture the anger and inspiration she feels after a powerful day of learning. Her curiosity piqued by an inspirational teacher, Nataya realizes the privilege her education affords her, and is determined to never stop reading or learning. Talking with hosts Steph, Sophie, and Maria, Nataya explores what it means to be a vegan, a journalist, and a feminist in 2021, and how she recognizes the seeds of who she’s become in her letter from four years’ ago. Plus, another influential woman in her life pops in for a moment!
