As We Are

2024 Vision: Balancing Ambition and Well-Being

Welcome back to Episode 2 of As We Are! Today, we delve into essential strategies for commencing the new year with purpose and clarity. Yes, it's February but it's never too late to start. Our discussion encompasses valuable insights on setting SMART goals, the transformative influence of habits, the resilience cultivated through a growth mindset, and the imperative nature of self-care. I also discuss my in, outs, and wants for 2024, and reflections drawn from "The Four Agreements". Manifesting 2024 is a year of self-improvement and fulfillment for everyone.

Episode 6 - Organizing on Campus (w/ Guest Hosts Daria, Leija, Malvika and Guests Jamila, Nick, and Ciara)

In this episode, Tisch Scholar Capstone friends Daria Gitiforooz, Leija Helling, Malvika Wadhawan, and (yours truly) Shariqa Rahman sit down with Jamila, Nick, and Ciara to talk about their experiences in organizing as a way to assess tools and tactics that have worked for them. In an effort to institutionalize our own knowledge of what campus organizing can look like, with help from the Tisch College (shoutout Brianda Hernandez!) and the Women's Center, we present to you an audio-handbook of sorts. Come listen to see how your own experiences compared and, to inspire bigger and better calls to action.
