Today I am interviewing my two best friends and roommates, Sarah and Hannah. They both provide exciting points of view on this topic; Sarah having lived in Portland, Oregon for most of her life, and Hannah growing up with me in NEA.
I wanted to add a disclaimer: we know there are people that have experienced a different side of the south based on their skin color, sexuality, or religion. We wanted to compile together some contributions to these experiences and do not want to come across in a negative light. We acknowledge our privilege and understand that we will never have to face what these people do.
