In many smaller communities schools are still segregated. I went back to my alma mater to interview the grade 12 students.
I wanted to open a discussion about the general opinion about us and how we are being portrayed in the media.
The students shared their daily struggles in regards to every day issues, but also how they view themselves and how difficult it can be to move forward when it feels like you are fighting against a giant wave that’s pushing you down over and over again.
I created a poem out of the interviews as a sort of summary of what it means to be us.
