Racceb Arikew

Racceb Arikew is a first-year student at the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in Legal Studies with a minor in Journalism. Raised in a low-income immigrant household, she developed an early awareness of how legal systems and public narratives shape access, justice, and opportunity. Her academic interests focus on gender justice, civil rights, and the role of media in amplifying marginalized voices. Through her studies, Racceb aims to combine legal analysis with storytelling to challenge inequity and promote accountability. By participating in Democracy Camp, she hopes to explore public service pathways that will equip her to translate advocacy into meaningful, community-centered impact.
