Raina Chelise
My name is Raina Chelise, and I am a Teacher-Student within the Communication Studies Department here at Cabrillo College. I started my journey into higher education back in 2007 as a student on our campus, and discovered – after taking so, so many classes – that communication studies was the field for me. As a communication scholar, I came to realize that we (re)create our reality through our everyday communication acts. In this way, the (seemingly small) communication choices we make come together to perpetuate, challenge, or transform our experience. Amplify is one way to challenge the status quo and illuminate the traditionally silenced and overlooked experiences of students of color within our campus community and (re)create a space of belonging.
