For my Junior year, I worked on a podcast that analyzed how African American hair is perceived within American culture. This topic allowed me to interview multiple amazing women and business executives about their experiences with their natural hair. This experience fulfilled the recognizing perspectives pillar for JAGS. This project demonstrates the deep understanding that i gained of American culture and influence. This project reflects growth as it shows a divergent perspective typically not considered. To complete this project, I researched the issue, interviewed professionals, conducted interviews of those around the community and then complied it into a podcast.  

This year, I partook in the Model United Nations Class offered by the JAGS curriculum. I attended the Cleveland MUN summit and represented Kenya in the African Union. The following article is my position paper on the African Commodities Strategy. This artifact demonstrates the communicative ideas pillar of JAGS. This paper was to provide a write-up on my country's opinion on the African Commodities Strategy. This assignment required me to broaden my mind to ideas and solutions that were complicated to understand and even harder to communicate. This increased my global competence by requiring a full immersion into my country of choice. I conducted research and connected divergent ideologies to form this paper. This artifact broadened my understanding of global politics, I learned how to write a position paper.
