College: Brightpoint Community College
Faculty mentor: Kenyada McLeod
Project summary: There are many misconceptions when it comes to furries. Recently, there was a popular rumor that schools were making accommodations for kids who identified as animals by placing litter boxes in bathrooms. In my video, I will explain what a furry is, how the community started, and if there really are litter boxes in schools.
