My name is Makeda Zabot-Hall, and I am from Portland, Maine. I am currently a first year student at Brandeis University. My entire life I have enjoyed writing, helping others, and staying active. Throughout high school, I have been on the swimming and soccer teams, as well as a member of student council, the Black Female Mentoring Alliance, and a facilitator for Black Rights Club. I also sit on the Maine Youth Court Council where I participate in cases. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and writing poetry. In past summers I have traveled to Israel and Jamaica where I got the opportunity to experience both sides of my roots. These experiences helped me understand more about my family and our background, which helped me connect more with Judaism.
