Darlins stands out to me because of how genuinely welcoming and DEI-friendly the organization is. From the outside and through conversations with current members, it’s clear that Darlins values inclusivity, individuality, and creating a space where women from all backgrounds feel comfortable, supported, and celebrated. The diversity within the team is embraced, not just acknowledged, and that sense of openness is reflected in how members uplift one another and foster a positive, judgment-free environment.

This is especially meaningful to me because I have personally worked to support diversity and inclusion on campus. I created a non profit organization focused on addressing DEI funding cuts at UT by advocating for resources and support for student organizations that serve underrepresented communities. Through this experience, I’ve learned the importance of building inclusive spaces where everyone feels seen and valued. Darlins reflects those same values, which is why I feel strongly aligned with the organization and excited about the possibility of contributing to its welcoming and empowering culture.
