Kim*

Hey everybody! I’m Kim, an international student from the beautiful Caribbean island of Anguilla. I’m a junior in pre-med at a college in Maryland. I want to become a pediatrician.

At the university, I'm a vice president for Caribbean Students Association (CSA), an organization that keeps me in touch with my culture. I also love it because we're all one big happy family! In my spare time, I love traveling, reading, dancing and having a good time with friends. Before MySistahs, I was a member of Advocates for Youth’s International Youth Leadership Council; so I got a lot of information regarding HIV and AIDS awareness.

As minorities, we often find ourselves faced with social, economic, and other obstacles to attaining the strength and unity that come from knowledge. And in the Caribbean, as I'm sure it is in many other places around the globe, young women face gender role stereotypes or preconceptions about how we must behave, what questions we can ask and how we should think. MySistahs challenges these preconceptions and opens our eyes to so many things. I am excited about being a peer educator because that means I get to play a part in supporting young women of color everywhere.

Ask me anything. I like to be a “peer advisor” for anyone who writes to me. Your questions regarding relationships or sexual and reproductive health are important, and I will do my best to help you.
