For #BlackHistoryMonth, we spent time asking members of the Rutgers community how they plan to make history. Meet Faustina Owoh, President of Rutgers NAACP (@rutgers_naacp), Bluefootprint Project (@bluefootprintproject), and Triota Honor Society. 

"A part of making history is being the change you want to see in the world. I have so many passions and interests that I would like to accomplish in life, but my mission is to try my best to mirror what I want to see in this world. I want there to be more love in everyday life because love is the highest vibration that exists. It has the power to heal and connect people from all walks of life. Everything comes from love, whether it be in the form of understanding one another, caring for one another, or respecting one another. While the list goes on and on, embodying love and being intentional in our efforts keeps us connected. I want people to constantly step out of their comfort zone, defying the norms society has created. I want people to feel good about who they are, just the way they are. I want to live in a world where people have E M P A T H Y for one another and not be so quick to judge or to speak down on anyone. I want more people to use their voices and speak up for injustices and issues that affect diverse groups of people regardless of their background. I just want more love less hate.

The things I want to see in this world are the things I do intentionally every day, and that is how I PLAN to make history, but, most importantly, that is how I WANT to make history. I have so much life ahead of me, and I know that this attitude may eventually lead to a specific career or lifestyle, but all that matters is that the “why” behind everything I do takes precedence."

Check back each week as we feature members of the Rutgers community throughout #BlackHistoryMonth.
