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

My group and I met with the LREI High School Feminist Club on February 16, 2024. The girls we met with discussed with us how social media has affected them, and how they grew up surrounded by it. We got to hear different perspectives on the matter, and generally, everyone agreed that they had felt insecure about themselves at one point in their lives. It was awesome to be able to relate and communicate with them and be able to gain so much first-hand information about how they have interacted with social media.
It was truly a pleasure, being able to collect data about what we’re really trying to prove. They were so welcoming and I felt comfortable asking what I needed to there. I appreciate them taking time out of their day for us, thank you.
