Kiki McLaughlin
Kiki is a third-year English major with a history minor. She enjoys swing dancing, playing Pokemon Go, writing notes-app poetry, and finding easily climb-able trees on Grounds. She is also heavily involved in community-building at Brown Residential College, where she can usually be found.
She loved going to markets and holding the fruit in her hand, feeling the tension of the skin and the pulp against her palm.
