========Comments from Maya========
For previous graduations, Hamilton uploaded individual commencement speeches on its RU-vid channel right after the ceremony. This year, however, the communications office is taking a while to upload individual videos perhaps because it is discussing whether it should (or can) publish my speech. Since I doubted Hamilton would upload my speech, I decided to share my own version of it before the College.
Moreover, the way Hamilton reacted to my spicy critiques during and after my speech further highlights who and what they really are, so I wanted to explicitly describe that in my speech. I also added visual and audio aids to my video in order to contextualize my critiques.
I’d really appreciate it if you share this video with your friends and family so that future Hamilton students will no longer have to face the same issues as we did!
