This year will go down in history, and hopefully not repeat itself. For the longest time, I’ve been a strong advocate in fighting for rights, but who knew it would come this far. Designing for this internship has not only pushed me to become a stronger and more versatile designer, but it has also gotten me to understand my calling, the mark I want to leave on this world. Earlier this year, after the murder of George Floyd in the middle of a world pandemic, I took a risk and made the decision to drop everything I was doing and head to Minneapolis. I had the chance to uncover, at first glance, the horrific police brutality against peaceful protestors. As dangerous as it was, I was able to document and see the fire and rage of our minorities, and it served as a rude awakening. I had a job to do and in order to do it, I had to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, working under hazardous conditions, and putting my life on the line. I was able to tell and show the story that people couldn’t see for themselves. I was there for all of us. I fought a fight for the people who fought wanted to fight, but couldn’t do it on a greater scale. All for the rights of my people.
