My name is Tyla Alexander. I was born and raised in New Haven, Connecticut. I am a Junior at Connecticut College. I am majoring in Sociology and minoring in Africana Studies. I am also a Bodies and Embodiment Pathway scholar. On campus, I am a floor governor for REAL Staff (Residential Education and Living). A Floor Governor is the same thing as an RA at other schools. I'm also a Marketing and Communications Student Ambassador for the Womxn's Center. In addition, I'm the Writer Liaison and a member of the Outreach committee of the Womxn's Empowerment Initiative. Outside of classes and extracurriculars, I enjoy listening to music, writing poetry or watching This Is Us.
