Emma Lohr and Ashley Turner

Description

[Recorded: Friday, September 8, 2023]
Emma Lohr (19) from Towson, MD, and Ashley Turner (19) from Fairfax, VA participated in this One Small Step conversation as part of their Public Service Pathways 1-credit UNST course at UVA. Emma shares her pursuit of urban planning and architecture studies, and Ashley discusses the origins of her passion for criminal law and advocacy. A commonality they share is their respective mothers’ influence on their values, specifically how to communicate with others. They reflect on the tensions in private and public spaces after the 2016 election, which were formative political memories, and discuss the importance of more meaningful dialogue. Emma and Ashley bond with one another over difficult personal experiences with identity and misunderstanding.
