Skills I Learned:
This story allowed me to take the different multimedia elements of storytelling that I learned throughout my time as a journalism student and use it to tell the story of a marginalized community. It included newsworthy elements of analyzing how the current political climate has impacted individuals, and I sought to amplify these voices and explain their different perspectives. Speaking to students of different ages allowed me to understand different viewpoints of what they thought about this administration’s impact on society, based on each individual’s personal experience. I am grateful to have my first individual story published on Grady Newsource, and I look forward to continuing to use my writing to amplify the voices of different individuals in the communities around me.
