Community Activist Awards

Raeghn Draper

 Everyone who follows me quickly grows familiar with frequent posts about LGBTQ folks, reproductive rights, decriminalizing sex work, immigrant, and refugee rights, mental health, everything black and brown, and more…My work in advocacy and activism also takes root in my creative pursuits. I wrote and directed a short film, Systems of Survival. The film’s purpose was to highlight the dangers of rape culture and toxic masculinity and how these cultures make life difficult for women and other people every day.

Krystle Everet

Currently as an activist I serve on the board of the Chicago Chapter of the National Organization for Women (CNOW). In my role, I have furthered the organization’s commitment to racial justice by executing our racial justice trainings for the past 2 years. The racial justice community education programs that I have created with the support of the CNOW team has educated grassroot leaders on the topic of racial justice and how to take action within one’s sphere of influence.

Dana Stamp, PhD

I developed Breaking the Chains Inc. (www.breakingthechainsinc.com)  which is a nonprofit organization ‘fostering excellence one youth at a time.’ My organization focuses on college, career, mentorship, and counseling services for youth in underserved communities…I have been able to implement my curriculum in 2 schools and 3 youth organizations.  My ultimate goals are to open an actual location in Englewood that will offer programming, mentorship and counseling service free of charge for our youth.

Graduate Student Awards

Paichence Carter

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology

By researching trauma and crisis intervention for families and children, I will not only be able to empathize greatly with my patients but also, properly and professionally assist them. It will be an honor to officially become a licensed mental health counselor for those who have never received proper consultation or empathy. My hope is that those who feel as if their voice has been taken away by their traumas, will feel heard again.

The Chicago School of Professional Psychology
​
I plan to work in a community center that has a mission to serve under-served communities, particularly those that are low-income and speak Spanish because I personally know how inaccessible many needed resources and services are to this population.

Carly Uebel

The University of Chicago
​School of Social Service Administration

​My goal in enrolling at the University of Chicago’s School of Social Service Administration is to achieve the knowledge and methodology necessary to undermine patriarchal institutions at the root of gender-based violence. I will be attending class, working in the field, volunteering with Resilience (formerly Rape Victim Advocates), and growing my network of allies in the process. Long-term, I aim to work full-time at the intersection between prevention education, policy, and direct support services for survivors.
