What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :

This week my group will present an overview on our SJ topic. I am not nervous at all because I have put a lot of effort into my presentation. Our group works great together and i’ve learned a lot. Here is something I shared about my topic after researching about my topic, “Because so many of us are on social media, we are all greatly affected by the things we scroll past every day. People trying to promote and live up to certain body types as well as shaming those who don’t have that body type is having an extremely negative impact on young girls and women. Since our group members all experience this first hand, we are devoted to learning more about it and coming up with potential solutions.”
