The Impact Awards honor those who create a more inclusive community at Montclair State University, hosted by the Office for Social Justice & Diversity. This year-end event presents awards to social justice warriors on-campus and in the community, as well as hosts the Lavender and Rites of Passage graduation ceremonies which celebrate graduating students of the LGBTQIA+ community and graduating students of color.

During this incredible event, I read my poem For Those We Lost Too Soon to honor students who passed away during the past academic year.
