Elea Besse

“Elea is exceptionally self-motivated, organized, and diligent about her work. She is also creative, passionate, and knowledgeable about issues relating to social justice, activism, race, art & design, and the intersections of those topics . . . I have worked with many interns, and Elea is one of the most impressive students I have ever come across. She is a rising star and would be an amazing asset to any media or advocacy organization!”

Fi Lowenstein, Body Politic Founder

"Through everything she does, from her creative and generative work to build something for students of color on campus to the work that she seeks out in Walla Walla, she demonstrates care for her community. When faced with a disheartening world, Elea asks: what can I build to make it better? How can my labor leave a legacy that others can build on?”
