Rasheeda was born in Poughkeepsie, New York, and recently graduated from Bard College with a Bachelor’s degree in Written Arts. As an undergraduate, she pioneered change on campus by co-heading a club for women of color to prioritize their mental health, as well as academic requirements through bi-weekly meetings and monthly events. She also became a mentor for incoming freshmen, aiding in their acclimation to collegiate life. When not in the classroom or on the job, Rasheeda spends most of her time reading, writing, watching sunsets, and eating good food!
