Book excerpt: In my work, I look to merge my political interests and my artistic interests to create persuasive work. I want to make art that provides a platform for education that fosters empathy, civic action, and a new perspective. Identity work and identity politics is very personal to me. In this paper, you will read about the reasons why media is important as a result of its influence, why identity work is important to me, and the pieces that I ve made to follow my goal. The goal of my work is to elevate voices who have historically been left out of standard narratives and to provide the vocabulary and context of the incredibly loaded reality of systemic racism. The first piece, "See Me Project," is a collection of interviews and portrait work put into a zine format. I interviewed people in my life and explored the stories of othered perspectives. My second piece is "ReMind," a prototype of a website. My goal for this concept is to educate people on history and current social realities that people may have never heard of or don t completely understand. This website is not a one-stop-shop to get to know every topic but rather a destination for context and resources
