Interview with MJ Day- Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition

We interviewed MJ Day and her team of women who work on Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Edition. We talked about modeling and how Sports Illustrated tries to give every woman an equal chance to model. They try to make sure it is not just the outward appearance that gets casted but also the model’s personality.

Visiting The Paley Center

We took a class on Girls, Body, and Media. Ms. Quigley showed us various videos from the past 50 years that are examples of some of the sexism around body image and fashion. After each group of videos, we would talk about the videos and digest it.

Re-Enfranchisement in Florida

We sent postcards with a brief message telling the votes in Florida whose signature did not go through to remember to vote for re-enfranchisement of felons (not murders or sex-offenders) in Flordia. We sent 247 postcards to people in Pasco County, and Jacksonville.
