Abstract
This free-style letter is meant to address the silence that many BIPOC undergraduates carry with them when they enter learning spaces that limit the ways to reach success. The letter personalizes the additional struggles that first-generation immigrant students also have to overcome just to acquire a good education. This letter advocates an acknowledgement of new systems of power that are anti-racist, multicultural, and empower differences rather than conform them to a standard and asks the question, how do we create more inclusive spaces where dialogue and change can occur?
