Hello everyone 🙂 

My name is Hailey, I am 18 years old. I prefer the pronouns she/her/hers as well as they/them/theirs. I grew up in a household containing mainly women, mothers and daughters. All the men that have come in between our household have never truly made me feel as loved as all the women in my life have, maybe I have a bias. I have always been aware that women and men are treated differently everywhere in our society, I can see how it affects everyone including myself. I was hoping to learn more about this in this class. What I like are morals, I like people that can choose to be kind. I like to read and write and be as creative as I can be. I like to appreciate the little things around me. I dislike neon colors, when people fight in train carts, ketchup. I dislike when things are unnecessarily hard. I dislike when the people around me struggle with things that people shouldn’t have to struggle with. I dislike that we don’t have free healthcare. I dislike occupational segregation. I dislike inequality. I am majoring in psychology, I find our minds very interesting. I am from New York, raised in the Bronx more specifically. I value love and loyalty. I value friends and family. I value my youth. One dream I’ve always had was to make short films, not only artistically but with an important message to the audience. Now I just hope to finish school, earn enough to help my family, and not regret many things when I’m older. I chose to take this course because based on just the name, I knew I would be interested. I hope to learn information about gender and women that I can be able to share. I think it is something everyone should do . If I were to suggest any films they would just be the ones directed by women but other than that there’s nothing else I can suggest. I look forward to meeting with this class and learning new things together! And if you want to recognize me in the hallways I’ll probably be the one in a big black coat with a big medusa ring 🙂
