Heyy y’all! My name is Nakelm Nicholson and I’m first-generation, queer, and of a Caribbean descent.

I’m so excited to be working with a cohort of students who live with different identities, and I’m hoping to host events throughout the semester in order to create and represent elegance and beauty in queer communities at Bates.

I am from Arusha, Tanzania.

I’m an avid tea & coffee drinker, so in my free time you’ll probably find me cuddled up with a mug and book. I’m happy to talk about anything and everything so please don’t hesitate to reach out to me. 🙂

Hi y’all! My name is Collin Madalena and I am from the Navajo Nation and Pueblo of Jemez in New Mexico.

I enjoy watching movies and TV series, listening to music, drinking coffee, and hanging out with friends. My favorite TV series and book is Heartstopper and The Song of Achilles. I also enjoy meeting new people, trying new things, and laughing 🙂

I look forward to meeting everyone! I hope you have a wonderful and exciting year!

My name is Roux. I am a trans Latina woman from Miami, Florida.

I love poetry, philosophy, and all things nerdom. However, I love helping people even more! Please feel free to reach out or drop in to talk about whatever you need. I’m a jack of all trades, so to speak, so I’m sure I’ll be able to assist in anything you may need.

Hii, my name is Yuka and I am from Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. 

I love reading and drawing! My favorite pastime is listening to anything indie rock and R&B while enjoying a cup of coffee. I’m always happy to talk about anything so feel free to reach out or stop by my drop-in hours!
