Janice Lorenzana, WGSS BA ’09: Find the thing that makes you feel empowered and excited

We are happy to feature another amazing alum, Janice Lorenzana (WGSS BA ’09), sending a message of support to the WGSS class of 2020. Janice was the inaugural recipient of the Terry Alexander Award in WGSS, given annually to a graduating major in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, who has completed the Gender, Sexuality, and Public Health track, and is interested in a career in health care and/or health advocacy. [We’ll announce this year’s winner of the Terry Alexander Award in this space soon!]. Janice now lives in Portland, Oregon and works for Basic Rights Oregon, an organization that advocates for racial justice, trans justice, and youth justice. Janice also creates sex and body positive art and has shared some of their work with us.
