CLTL Featured Student
Erica Smith '22

Erica is a Junior from Brooklyn, New York. She is a sociology major and the current President of the UJIMA club at Skidmore. Erica is passionate about UJIMA’s core values of friendship, support, and being a safe space for all students especially students with marginalized identities.

Erica is a proud plant mom and really enjoys cooking for her housemates. She spends her days trying to perfect her yoga skills. And last but not least she lives for Tabitha Brown and her YouTube videos (if you don’t know her look her up you won’t regret it).

When Erica feels down she writes herself little notes to remind her that she is enough and that’s something that keeps her going. She doesn’t have a set path for when she graduates but, she always strives to help others in any way she can. Erica wants to focus on low income communities and the different ways she can aid and fight for them.
