Josefa is one of Emira’s friends. She’s roommates with Shaunie. People refer to their apartment as “Shaunie’s” place—Shaunie, whose parents are wealthy and support her financially, has furnished much of the place—but Josefa doesn’t seem to mind. Where Shaunie is reliable, generous, and always caring, Josefa is socially “inconsistent,” opting either to stay home and scroll through her phone or else deciding to go out and party until morning. She has a mother and sister whom she speaks Spanish with over video chat. Josefa is currently a research assistant and fellow at Drexel—and her parents have promised to support her financially so long as she is a student. Though Emira loves her friends, she sometimes feels alienated by their ambitions and the stable financial situations that allow them to pursue them.
