Writing Our Way To Wellness
A Fistful of Verse
Lunch with LitNYS
Ye Olde Voicemaille
Have you ever wondered what would happen if medieval serfs had answering machines?
Zoom to the Moon
While writing this essay, my goal was to keep things lighthearted and tell an entertaining story that also shared a bit of my personality and interests.
Everyone’s a little bit GAY!!!
Are you a queer youth trying to navigate the waters of coming out? Do you enjoy hearing other people's coming out stories? Or do you just want to laugh at the innocence (and sometimes ignorance) of teenagers? Look no further, this podcast is meant for you!
Tiff Talks: An Afternoon with Brick Distributor
"Tiff Talks: An Afternoon with Brick Distributor" is a podcast about a recent music event in Brooklyn that my friend’s band, Brick Distributor, performed at. My mentor played a huge role in the inspiration for this project, as her studies of journalism and communications inspired me to pursue my own project (and soon major) in journalism. This represents my best work in the program this year because it combines everything I learned about writing at Girls Write Now for the past four years. It is a symbol of how much I've grown in this program.
A Guide to Making History
“A Guide to Making History” shares the inside thoughts of a young girl who loses her way and doesn’t know how to find herself again.
Bunk
This project is inspired by the idea of a "safe space" in a time of rebellion and unease. It features 16 and 17-year-old subjects: Kamilla, Malcolm, Roan, and me. This series, centered around the idea of the teen bedroom, delves into teens' ability to connect their freedoms and identity to their space. To create this piece about the human experience of life in-between, I've photographed and interviewed each participant. The young people in this project share what makes them feel at peace and comfortable in their ever-changing environments.
Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes, Who Else?
This year, I decided that I was going to improve my mystery-writing skills, as I had always been an avid mystery reader. I think my podcast sums up my love for it and what I'm trying to do with my works!
Your Weekly Dose with Mareesa and Abena
In this podcast, I give you a taste of my love for South Korea and present two delicacies of South Korean culture in a fun and calm way!
Storytime
This podcast is for those who like fairytales and myths and all types of stories being explained. Many people have heard of the Disney movie Anastasia, based off of the Russian princess, but many people do not know that instead of getting married in the end as depicted in the movie, the real Anastasia passed away as a young child. "Storytime" will uncover mysteries and answer questions about stories from A to Z.
Iron Bars
This song is a tribute to Gorillaz’s nonsensical ingenuity.
