As a young adult, it was tremendously valuable for me to hear Brooke’s perspective on how information is shared and digested in our country today. From Brooke’s address I came away with the conclusion that American media is complicated and infuriating; in light of this it is important that we are active in our approach to finding and digesting information related to politics, and current events. The second we let our guard down we allow for our pursuit of knowledge to be interrupted by distractions and outright lies. I consider it such a blessing as a Lehigh student to have been given the opportunity to come and see both KJ and Brooke speak through the Doc 150 class at Lafayette. I learned a great deal from these women, and I look forward to the additional opportunities that will present themselves throughout the rest of the semester.
