Hello everyone,
My name is Jeanise Personna and I am a LAR major at UMassD in my senior year. I live in Boston with my mom and two younger brothers. During the day, I work as a full-time infant/preschool teacher in Seaport, MA. I chose the feminism blog the sample is titled Brown Girl Magazine. This blog can be modeled in my own work because it can provide an opportunity to explore the intersectionality of feminism, culture, and contemporary social issues. The magazine not only highlights the voices of women of color but also gives us a sense of community and empowerment. One way that Brown Girl Magazine cannot be modeled in my own work is through its authentic representation of specific experiences. The blog shares personal stories that resonate with their audience on a deeply emotional levell. One environmental issue that is particularly relevant to where I live is gender and racial discrimination. This issue is often overlooked in discussions about environmental justice but also plays an important role in determining how individuals and communities face the effects of environmental harm. Which connects to The Brown Girl Magazine blog because it shows the challenges faced by women of color in navigating environmental issues.
Hi Jeanise,
I appreciate your sentiments about the Brown Girl Blog, I also visited the blog and was impressed with the personal testimonies to a lived experience I can only sympathize with! I think it’s important that we make that distinction and the understanding that our lived experiences are different are what can help us understand one another better.
Hello, Jeanise.
Your introduction effectively conveys your background and the topic of your blog. You have clearly expressed that “Brown Girl Magazine” encourages your work by promoting diversity and offering a community-oriented viewpoint. The contrast between their narrative approach and your own goals is useful in displaying your admiration for real narratives. Also, your connection of gender and racial discrimination to environmental difficulties adds depth and shows how these issues are connected. Overall, excellent work connecting personal experiences to larger social challenges!
