Intro: Domenique Edwards

I admit that if someone asked me to describe myself I would immediately come up with labels. I’m Black and Italian, short, Vandy girl, and super nerdy among a list of many other labels. If I were to eliminate labels and stereotypes in describing myself I would say that I was accepting, loving, loyal, and hard-working to name a few. Eliminating labels gets to the heart of who a person really is without expectations clouding our view of who we think they will be. I’m excited to see how we all grow in the lodge together as we explore how to think of ourselves and others as more than a label.
