Christina Luke is a first-generation graduate student born in Haiti and raised in Florida. She graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a Bachelor of Arts in Communications and Sports Administration in 2016. Her passion for advocacy began at Carolina, where she served as a resident and multicultural advisor for Carolina Housing and volunteered as a student affairs consultant to address campus concerns surrounding the Unsung Founders Memorial. After graduation, Christina returned to Florida and began working in emergency services and community engagement. Her desire to foster more equitable and inclusive environments led her to facilitate sensitivity training with the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office while volunteering with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). In her free time, Christina began performing standup comedy and found that gaps in understanding could be bridged through humor. This realization led her to autonomously produce two online series celebrating Black History and Women’s History during their respective months. The series allowed her to discuss polarizing topics, news, and history through an inclusive lens. The success of these series led her to become a research consultant and content creator with UNC Chapel-Hill’s School of Medicine Behavioral and Technology Lab. In this role, she helped disseminate complex research material into digestible information for the general public. Her digital media and advocacy work facilitated her entry into the Diversity Equity Inclusion Council for AdventHealth Carrollwood, where she pioneered the inaugural Black History Month campaign and helped draft the materials for the Women’s History and Ramadan campaigns. The success of these campaigns led to an invitation to the corporate headquarters for AdventHealth’s West Florida Division to share her ideas on media projects to promote equitable and inclusive work environments. Christina is overjoyed to join the Duke community. She plans to use her Master of Public Policy to empower the public by demystifying the political process and working in legislation to ensure that the policies being drafted accurately address the needs of a country as diverse as its people. Outside of her work, Christina enjoys performing comedy, creating content, reading historical novels, writing poetry, watching movies, going on adventures outdoors, and spending time with loved ones.
