Hello friends, for my final story in my journalism class I have decided to write about the specific struggle of student employees at UWM who were laid off due to covid then passed up for government financial assistance and scammed by the university so hml if that fits you...

I am looking for one subject to act as a sort of window into that experience. This is a feature story, so by describing one perspective I can represent the larger problem in a longform narrative. For the purpose of having one person sort of represent hundreds, I think it would...

...simply be more accurate? to tell this story from the perspective of a student of color because that is a perspective that I obviously would not be able to otherwise accurately or fairly represent as I am white and UWM fucked me too but I have a certain amount of privilege...

...which shielded me and shields other white people from experiencing this specific struggle in the same way if that makes sense?
