Things About Me

By Maxine Babb

In these few slides, I am being fully vulnerable in telling my audience about myself—with funny remarks, of course. I share the emotions that I have about my life and just how crazy it is. What sparked my inspiration for this project was the desire to share the experiences and thoughts I’ve had in my short life. This project shows how much I improved this year. In the beginning, I was hesitant to share these things about myself. I feel like I came a long way, being as open as I was in this project.

Bootlegs: A Necessary Evil

By Pilar Lu-Heda

I was inspired by a joke that Lin-Manuel Miranda made on Twitter, and I wanted to look more into the subject and other people’s opinions.

Kayla Walford’s Website

By Kayla Walford

This website features a few of the projects I have done in Girls Write Now 2019-2020. They all focus on “small” moments and objects which are normally seen as unimportant. The purpose of these pieces is to highlight the importance of each part of this world, whether or not they may leave their footprint in history.

Nancy Drew, Sherlock Holmes, Who Else?

By Kathy Wang

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!

Storytime

By Jo Rosado

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.

Sanjida’s Style

By Sanjida Sheuba

This video is a representation of my identity and the culture that I come from. It represents one of the things I love most: fashion. Fashion shows everyone who I am as a person. I love wearing certain colors to showcase more of my personality and skin tone. When I look good, I feel good. I hope this video inspires you to change how you look at fashion.

Building a Healthy Relationship

By Lyla Malcomson

Are you struggling in your relationship right now? If you’re getting exhausted and unhappy, I’m here to help. In my relationship advice podcast, I talk about the top three factors you need to build and maintain a healthy relationship.

Our Words, Our Voice

By Nora Knoepflmacher

You read and write everyday, whether it involves your favorite song lyrics, a grocery list, crafting a text to your best friend, or projects for school or work. In fact, we use our literacy so much that we often take it for granted. What about the centuries of people who were denied this powerful tool?

Blackbird

By Onyeka Agwu

Like blackbirds we lived in a constant state of struggle trying to survive. Every time we tried to fly there were others pecking away at our wings. Like that bird, fueled by our need to survive, we learned to soar.

mental illness teenage talk

By Shyanne Spencer

My project about teenage depression is meant to let other teens know they are not alone. I want to bring this subject out in the open so other teens can be aware that this is a serious topic to deal with, but they can talk about it. This is my first time doing a project like this, and I want to continue my podcast in an effort to reach out to other teens to begin the conversation in a safe space.

Beyond the Scenes

By Chelsea Lin

The Korean pop group BTS is known for having a devoted fanbase, but very few people are interested in the important messages found in their versatile and lyrically profound music. In my podcast, we will listen to BTS’s refreshing, eclectic, and well-produced bops one at a time and explore the layers of meaning behind the lyrics.

Project Silmo: Reconstructing a Nation

By Lulu Sha

I’ve been analyzing and thinking about The Silmarillion for years now. After multiple rereads, hours upon hours of research, drafting, and redrafting, here are my final thoughts on Tolkien’s legendarium.

Dear NYC: A High-Schooler’s Take On Life

By Anne Rhee

Race, as a visual marker, affects our daily lives —whether it be through making snap judgments or the Model Minority stereotype. Discussions of race tend to be neglected in academic institutions themselves: the questions of both how to include rather than exclude and how to better diversify communities continually rise.

Dedicated to my Natural Hair

By Jayola Reid

I wrote a letter to my natural hair because I recognized that I was dealing with some deeply engrained self-hate issues regarding it.

Flowers for Georgia

By Caitlin Levy

My dad and I love art history, and we wanted to bring to light stories of women who have carved and sculpted their place in history! There are so many inspiring women today, but also many women who may be in the shadows of history— and who should be kept alive. This work was a challenge given that I had never worked on a piece through a media platform before. The piece is a product of my learning process and the new mode of storytelling I tried, and the writing I always do!
