Podcast on Racism & Race Inequality |
My goal during the Personal Project experience was to make a podcast talking about racism and race inequality in the world. My goal is to inform and teach people about such issues that are present. Coming up with this goal and product was very last minute. I consulted my sister the day before the end of summer break. My decision was shaped by all the black lives matter protest going on in the US and around the world. It was treatment of black people that made me recognize the privilege I have in my life, so I made a podcast highlighting racial issues we see in the world. . I created three podcasts, each podcast episode branching off each other and overall being all connected. The first podcast talked about microaggressions, the second was continuation of the first and that one was about microaggressions in the media and the third was also a contitation from the second, discussing colourism and eurocentric beauty standards. The research aspect of the project was actually somewhat enjoyable.

Challenges
The biggest challenge I had with the Personal Project was time management. School work intensified and got more challenging and I found myself working so much less on personal projects and to the point had not done any work for 3 weeks. With the Personal Project being a very strenuous challenge I had to find ways to manage my time better. Creating timetables to balance all aspects of life was helpful.

Achievements
The part I enjoyed most creating my script for my podcast. I found it rewarding being able to put all the research I’ve done into something meaningful. I also thought that it would take a while, but was the easiest part of the project. I am most proud of my second podcast.I feel like it was by far the best podcast out of the three I created. I felt like the delivery of it was good.
