Christian Hollowell, a Washington, D.C. native, proud feminist, and lifelong political junkie currently pursuing my Master of Public Administration at American University’s School of Public Affairs. Holds a B.A. from Rutgers University- New Brunswick in History/ Political Science and has a deep passion for public service, equity, and empowering marginalized voices. This blog is a reflection on the intersections of policy, politics, and lived experience—through the lens of someone who believes that systems can and should work better for all of us.
