Intro from Wendy

In the midst of a major life transition, I am finding much grounding in this class. Last week's session was wonderful and I look forward to many more. 

I took Dr. C's Social Justice class in the spring of '08 at SLU. Since, I've been on a whirlwind of globetrotting journey from the Peace Corps in Cameroon to grad school in London and New York, to a six-ish year stint in Shanghai. Fed up with the corporate grind, my husband and I embarked upon a year of around-the-world travel, followed by a year in Saigon, Vietnam, and finally back to the Motherland a few weeks ago in Taiwan, where I had left at age 12 and immigrated to St. Louis. I've documented much of this journey on my blog, Wanderlust Wendy to both process my experiences and to pay-it-forward with learnings along the way. 

I look forward to the weekly Zoom session to keep me accountable to keep up with the reading and writing. Also, allowing myself to take some time to slow down and reflect.
