Doesn't her picture kind of make her look like a college student

"from the 1980s" I thought to myself.

"Food, power, and sustainability: UW undergraduate research foregrounds migrant farmworkers" | Welcome2021 | dailyuw.com

"Ibrokhim’s interests in food and environmentalism grew after she came to the UW and began her food systems, nutrition, and health major, she said. Both academic coursework and her upbringing in an Uzbekistani immigrant family, where she watched her single mother work underpaid jobs in the United States to make ends meet, inspired Ibrokhim to dive deeper into the exploitation of migrant farmworkers in the United States. 

'It was really hard for me to [dissociate] food from exploitation,' Ibrokhim said."
