Living in Blackness: Exploring Racial Identity Through Essays & the Creation of an Affinity Group

Faculty Support: Kristen Hicks

Summary: I wrote a book about my life as a Black young woman growing up in a world that favors the white population. This book is called Living In Blackness and was created during my first year as a Capstone scholar, and ended with it being published and is now available on the Barnes & Noble website. Within my book, there is a collection of short memoir stories, poetry, rhythm writing, and discussion questions to observe oneself and rethink privilege.
