"I wanted to create a website devoted to Ivy League minorities. This is a space devoted to challenging preconceived notions and stereotypes. With an ever-changing society, and strong emotions about race, gender, socioeconomic status, and LGBTQ+ rights, the time was right to create a forum where some of the brightest minorities could share their experiences."

"You’ll finally stop beating yourself up for the things you have no control over, but that same determination to be the best version of yourself will not change. . ." - Sam Arenas (Cornell University '20)
