During my capstone process this year, I learned my habits and strengths. The habits I have learned include being on top of things I needed to get done, reaching out, and using my resources valuably. I have taken people's advice from when we would present to people at the roundtables, and I have added, or been more careful with my process of creating my podcast. My podcast name,  “In The Minority,” was created with the help of my mentor Sabrina Scott. By taking my mentor's advice and other people's advice from round tables, I have learned that I am very good at incorporating advice and criticism that I am given for my project. My project throughout the year evolved a lot. I was supposed to have a partner, so going from having one to not having one changed the course of my project. I had to figure out how to shape it into something I was excited and proud of, which is what I did. Over time, I learned I enjoy interviewing people, as that's what I had to do throughout creating my podcast. Interviewing and discussing important topics with people is a big strength to have, as it's very important to be able to talk to people and continue a discussion even if it's uncomfortable or you don't know them. I learned that I'm a lot better at starting conversations and making people feel comfortable, which I enjoy. A challenge during this project would have to be the editing process. I had to take long 40- an hour minute videos and condense them down to 30-minute episodes or even 20 at times. I also had to edit out certain things, and still try to allow the video to flow well. It would take me about two weeks to edit a video, but I'm proud of myself as I got it done. This experience has allowed me to learn how long it would take to work on a long project throughout a real job or work process. Also, again, contacting and reaching out to people helped me overall with my communication skills, which is something I would also need when going to a real job in the future. All in all, people continue to ask me, “What was your goal?” or “How many views or subscribers do you want? "It's funny to me because 99 percent of the time, that is what people think, because normally that would be the goal for a podcast, right? But for me, it's completely different. When I created this podcast, I was thinking about me, and the multiple other people of color who face normalized racism and ignorance on a day-to-day basis in their institutions. Whether it's in a school setting, or work, or in sports, and ect. In any environment, I wanted to bring general awareness to this, but I also wanted to allow people to get the things they have experienced off their chest. I feel a lot of the time, people don't understand that a simple conversation allowing someone to speak about a racial incident that happened to them already makes the situation better and moves them in the right direction. Some may ask, why? And it's because they feel seen. The person who experienced it feels seen, and that's a step in the right direction automatically. For me, it's about seeing a weight being lifted off of someone's shoulders as they felt their stories, their everyday overlooked occurrences, were being heard. Whether it was being heard by 5 viewers or 10,000 viewers, at the end of the day, someone was listening to their story, and telling them it's not ok. For that reason, I am extremely proud of my project, and I hope to continue it into my senior year.
