So our newest contributer Rose is being honored by the National Sexuality Resource Center with the Trojan Student Journalism Award, next to Cecile Richards, President of Planned Parenthood. The event is tonight for those of you in the Bay Area and can be followed on twitter.
From the program:
We are proud to acknowledge the 2009 NSRC Trojan Student Journalism award winner, Rose Afriyie. The award recognizes college journalists who demonstrate outstanding sexual health reporting in their college print, radio, television or online media outlet, including journalistic blogs. The Student Journalism Award is founded in the belief that an open and honest dialogue about sexual health, especially among young people, is essential to improving the poor state of sexual health in America
Yay Rose! I have been working with Rose since we met in my summer class at the National Sexuality Resource Center Summer Program, and she continues to be a bright and constant force for change and continues to redefine what feminism means to her. I had the honor of being awarded by the NSRC in the past and I applaud their constant commitment to honor diversity and young women's voices.
