Social Justice Posters
The message I want people to take away from my first poster is that reclaiming the future also involves recovering your past. The clothing that I am wearing is very traditional to represent the past, while the bright background represents the bright future ahead.
The message that I want people to get form my second poster is that someone's skin color or nationality does not determine their self-worth. People sometimes forget to see others as individuals instead of a member of a different "team."
Inclusive Stock Photography
The Inclusive Stock Photography project was designed to address the scarcity of people of color, multicultural people, and LGBTQ+ people in commercial stock photography by creating professional-quality images of these underrepresented people in a variety of everyday settings, including romantic and platonic relationships, family, and communities.
