“Democracy and justice is based in, ‘how do we speak?’ What are we trying to do with our words?” said Adrielle Lanae, a Pepperdine junior and International Relations major.
Lanae’s interest and pursuit of justice is inspired by her very international background that makes it difficult for her to answer the question of where she is from. Her love and value for words come from her parents. For the past few summers, Lanae has travelled to the midwest to serve as a camp counselor for Kids Across America, a Christian sports camp. There she gained an irreplaceable experience of bonding with her co-counselors and guiding many different groups of campers through Christ.
