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

On February 6th, Paige and I traveled to the LREI high school to interview a senior, Suko Bey. When Suko was in 8th grade, she did a similar topic to ours. Suko focused on solutions for discrimination, like doulas and different prenatal and postpartum care centers. She told us about the organization with which she and her partner interned. Suko also told us about people she talked with, like an OBGYN and she gave us the contact information for the OBGYN. Although she didn’t remember much from her project, she still shared an amazing amount of information. Suko even expressed interest in coming to our Ted Talks when we present.
