“Being a girl, I liked Barbies too, so I associated pink with Barbies and princesses, so that’s how I liked it. Pink is just universally seen as a symbol of love and kindness.” – Amanecci Porter, senior

“It reminds me of women empowerment, Barbies and sunsets. It’s a beautiful color that’s mostly been stereotyped for girls to like, but I feel like now we use it to our power and to our advantage.” – Tanisha Jain, junior

“I’ve had a lot of comments from a lot of different people calling me less than manly for wearing the color pink and like obviously gay. Everyone does that. I never understood why it had to be like a girly color and not like an all-gender color.” – Nathan Rodriguez Calixto, sophomore

“Everyone hated pink. It was to be unique. You wouldn’t wear pink. It was either blue or purple or other colors. It was mostly like that. It’s mostly like, ‘I don’t like pink. I’m unique.’” – Niva Mundrathi, freshman
