Hello, my name is Rahni. I was named after my late father Rodney Sumler, a local civil rights activist in North Carolina. I grew up in Winston-Salem, NC, but I went to college in Greensboro. I also went to college twice. Once for preschool at Winston-Salem State University, where I attended college with my older sister Zoi. Again in Greenbsoro, where I learned to be a jetsetting Electrical Engineer at my father’s alma mater: the additionally historically activist North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University. I studied abroad at Korea University in Seoul, where I learned computer chip design and immersed myself in one of the most socially active schools in Asia. Impressed with my work in South Korea, my university would hire me to write a few study materials in design for my fellow students and eventually would send me as a representative at University of Minnesota to study climate change. Currently I have landed myself a technical writing position in at the CUNY School of Public Health, serving my community of Harlem. I council Public Health students in technical writing and serving their communities through developing their professional voice. In the future one of my goals is to create a public works coalition, teaming up members of the community with engineers that have the know how to develop the infrastructure they need. These public works projects will be community driven, building up technoligical utilities that not only improve quality of life but are informed by the voices in the community. Inspired by my father who was a leader in our community, attending his activist school, traveling abroad, seeing how other communities take care of each other, working in public health, and building an online activist community- these are the steps that will lead me to my overall end goal.
