Hi everyone, my name is Ashley German Soto and I am from Boston MA. I come from a loud, funny, crazy Dominican family who constantly push me to be my best self. I recently declared my major to political science. My understanding of sustainability to me has many layers especially as a person of color. One of the things that I want to gain a better understanding of with the help of this class is,  how and why are POC’s more effected by environmental degradations? I also want to know if there is a solution to this? It’s disheartening to know that someone may not have the same amount of resources as the next person because of where they live or what color their skin is. I really look forward to understanding more of the data that goes into measuring sustainability.
