"After months of discussion, including a meeting in which Lovely says she was told by a dean that 'motherhood is not for the faint of heart,' there's a resolution," Lovely's determination to advocate for policy changes reflects broader systemic issues.
"At some point this became so much more than me," she says, emphasizing her commitment to creating sustainable changes for future students facing similar challenges.
