Class of 2022 Scholar Presentations!
Our students gave excellent presentations on their experience in the program. We laughed, we cried, and we learned that the work we do at Journey to Esquire has a tremendous impact. Look out for the presentations on our YouTube Channel and Podcast coming soon!

Living as an Orchid (A Pantoum Poem) by
Class of 2022 Scholar Jessica Merker
Stetson University College of Law
I was paused, harbored here
In green leaves—cut stem but saved
Waiting out the years
Between blooms.
In green leaves—cut stem but saved
The seasons of law
Between blooms
Taught me what it means to be queer.
The seasons of law
Now, demanding more than silence
Taught me what it means to be queer
And gifted me this: Journey to Esquire.
Now, demanding more than silence
I have become unmoored
And gifted this: Journey to Esquire
I am ready to bloom.
