Bonjour!

My name is Cindi Azuogu. I am a freshman at the U of A studying Physiology and have a minor in Creative Writing. I plan on going to med school and continuing my studies in Pediatrics because I love children. I am also new intern to the Women's Resource Center and already loving it. In high school, I was the weird (but totally butt-kicking) girl who discovered this awesome thing called feminism and started the Young Feminists Coalition, our pro-feminist group on campus that everyone secretly wanted to join but were too afraid. I have always been very active in the LGBTQ and Feminist Community. In my Senior year, I was the president of the Gay Straight Alliance, which was also the year the Westboro Baptist Church came to protest on our campus. We told them right where to stick their signs!

Ever since, I have been participating in any act of social justice I can since I have a strong passion for it. Just this year, I have joined the Vagina Warriors for the 2010 presentation of the Vagina Monologues and will continue to combat the threat of domestic violence and sexual abuse.

It has only been a semester of school and it promises to be an amazing 4 years here!
