Alumna Qiana Mickie '93 is a champion for food security
Qiana Mickie '93 is a voice for food justice. After working in the development field and a decade working with the not-for-profit Just Food in New York City, Qiana has become the founding principal at QJM Multiprise. She says, "I am committed to increasing racial, economic, and environmental equity within our food system, policies and communities."
Involved in community work since her days at SCA, Qiana says, "I can see so many ties to my work now from my time at St. Catharine's. Volunteering with the principal, Dr. Nap, being in the environmental club-these things helped me want to make a difference. Dr. Nap saw something in me that I didn't even see at that time. He found ways for me to connect to my voice, to speak about the school and speak about my personal experience. I believe I am passing this gift forward in my social justice efforts to other vulnerable community members."

Amanda Gorman's Inauguration Poem
Students in Ms. Attia's AP World History class reflected on National Youth Poet Laureate Amanda Gorman's Inauguration Poem, "The Hill We Climb." The students thoughtful reflections analyzed several lines in the poem including "But this doesn't mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect. We are striving to forge our union with purpose" and "If we merge mercy with might, and might with right, then love becomes our legacy and change, our children's birthright."
