THE PURPOSE TO THIS CAPSTONE
Throughout my senior year at SLA, I have been intently working on my senior project in which I am looking to expose colorism and the way that it has affected various people. Drawing from my own experience, I sought to collect poems, memoirs and other sentimental expressions of people’s stories regarding their self-identified race. Throughout the time in which I have been working on this this project, my goal has been to to present an interconnecting idea between the stories that I collected. The more I collect stories, the more I connect to people at SLA and around the city in ways which I could not have thought possible before. Stories are so critical to humanity, and the same way that I am connecting people’s stories, is the same way in which I hope that you can connect to them as you browse through them in "My Magazine." Enjoy.
