Noah Silver’s (C '21) Penn career promised to be unique the moment it started. Accepted when he was 16 years old to Penn’s Class of 2015, he decided to take a break from school before starting his first year of college. Many students choose to take gap years—some decide to explore the world, others spend time learning more about themselves before committing to a specific major. Noah, however, used his gap year to focus on his growing acting career.

Like many Penn students, Cassandra Ingersoll’s (C ‘22) schedule is consumed by extracurricular activities.

Chanel Nichols (C ‘21) is a 29–year–old senior.

During this time, Chanel was also in community college.

If you had told me in the spring of 2019 at my high school graduation that in a year I’d find myself back living in my hometown, I wouldn’t have believed you. This was it; for years I had worked to get out of this town. I had said my goodbyes and I was leaving for Penn, the place I had been dreaming about escaping to since middle school.

Basically, I was a walking Lady Bird quote: “I want to go where culture is.”
“When we came to America we faced severe poverty ... My activism is connected to my family and my lived experience. Between experiencing poverty, being an immigrant in this country, learning English, struggling with English, and having parents who struggle with English, it helps me to recognize that the bare minimum is not provided for folks to even begin to have a dignified and humane living.”

At the same time, imagining the future has become that much more important—not only to get through the pandemic, but to create a world of economic and racial justice. While Black Speculative Futures started forming in Professor Christina Knight's mind at the end of last year, the themes and methods of the course have become especially resonant this semester.
