Introduction

Hummingbird's picture

I'm Hummingbird – a Serendip persona I've had for two years now, since my last 360. I picked the name in honor of my great-grandmother, who passed away the summer before Women in Walled Communities began, and for whom hummingbirds were sparks of brightness and joy in her otherwise somewhat monotonous days. The name was also appropriate for my identity as a Bryn Mawr student (you may have heard the E.B. White quotation on being married to Katherine White – a Bryn Mawr almumna).

The avatar I've chosen to use as my online representation is a selfie I took at this most recent May Day, just before President Cassidy rolled by in a carriage with the Traditions Mistresses. This picture captures a lot of the ways I've chosen to owtwardly represent aspects of my personality, really an outward performance of more inner tendencies.
