The Fallon Faith Impact [FP Edition]

Hi, if you're new, welcome! Recently, I shared a post about the 'Fallon Faith Impact' which was one of our Action Projects where we were to create a time capsule from 100 years hence. I decided that I would like to fictionalize a powerful woman president. Her name is Fallon Faith and in the slideshow below, you can see her journey leading up to her presidency.

The Fallon Faith Impact

Hello, all! If you're new, welcome to Equality! This is a course where we learn about the importance of, of course, equality, but more specifically race, gender, and American history. As of lately, we've discussed Onuwuachi-Willig's article on racism being a social construct as well as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's influential TedTalk on the power of feminism. I enjoyed watching and analyzing these two works because I got even more insight into my fellow classmate's opinions on the two topics.

But getting to the Action Project, the mission for it is to predict the future of equality by creating a time capsule from 100 years hence. So, I decided that I would like to fictionize a powerful woman whom I think who be the perfect president. Her name is Fallon Faith and if you continue on in the blog, you'll be able to learn more about her and her journey leading up to her presidency. 

 

Overall, this project was very time-consuming, but eye-opening as well. I enjoyed thinking about the future of women and politics not to mention women in the White House.

Kamala's Impact

Hello, all, and welcome to Equality! This is a course where learn about the importance of, of course, equality, but to be more specific, we've been discussing women, gender, as well as African-American history. I really enjoy this course because I love hearing everybody's opinions on topics that make them feel particularly "uncomfy," not to mention, we see each other's anger towards certain issues such as slavery, segregation, homophobia, etc. But, to get back on track here, let's talk about our Action Project!

The mission of this AP is to create a textbook that is focused on a historical event related to race, gender, and/or class. I decided to make my chapter about Kamala Harris' Vice Presidential electing. I wanted to write on that topic because her election made a huge impact on my family. Like Kamala, my family is black and Indian so you could guess how ecstatic we were to see that someone that looks like us can have such an important job in the White House.

Please read my chapter for more :)


Overall, this Action Project was super cool! I enjoyed learning more about Kamala and her journey leading up to her becoming the Vice president. I also loved writing about something that interests me along with my family.

More, Hopefully: My Survival Guide :)

Hello, all, and welcome! If you have not been staying tuned then you would know that this will be the last blog that I publish as a GCE stud...
