Hola! My name is Alli Cansler. I am a first year Master's Student in the Gender and Race Studies Department at The University of Alabama. In Cuba, my focus was on women's role in society and how it has evolved since the Revolution. I was able to meet so many inspiring women who worked for organizations such Women's Magazine, Community ESPIRAL, and Cenesex. This experience taught me a lot about myself, widened my worldview, as well as exposed me to the hard truths about life outside the United States. I will forever be grateful to the wonderful people of Cuba who gave me the greatest gift -- knowledge.
