My name is Nerissa Cummings-Trotman and i am a senior dance major. Writing is one of my many hobbies that I enjoy doing because it helps me to express myself and how i’m feelin . I tell many stories through my written products that allow my readers to connect or be influenced by the piece. The two products that I chose to share are Est. 2011 which tells the story of a young girl's harsh experience through her teen years. The story results in her accepting herself through all she's been through. The second product is a short yet strong reflection from an artist's perspective known an Artist Statement. The artist passionately describes why they do what they do, their process, and goals for the future.
