Ten Women Make History at University of Puget Sound FEPPS Graduation Ceremony

On a cloudy Saturday morning, the Washington Corrections Center for Women in Gig Harbor buzzed with an unusual air of celebration. The atmosphere inside the prison walls was energetic and hopeful as the University of Puget Sound and the Freedom Education Project Puget Sound (FEPPS) hosted an inaugural commencement ceremony, marking a historic moment for 10 incarcerated women who completed their Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies.

Smh, President Roxanne Gay resigns #harvard #roxannegay
Loved Lamya H’s _Hijab Butch Blues_, which among other things provided feminist interpretations of Islamic stories from the Quran (many familiar from my own Jewish upbringing). Can’t do justice to everything from it I’m still chewing on, & plan to catch up on whatall #RoxanneGay has to add, but it’s the first memoir I’ve felt truly lifted by since the sublime _Easy Beauty_. Important: must mark 2 new (to me) terms: “friend chase” and “SITUATIONSHIP” 😂 #HijabButchBlues @lgbtqbookstodon @bookstodon
