About Me

Biography & Personal Statement

My name is Fatima Privitt, and I am a sophomore at the University of Maryland, College Park, majoring in Public Relations, with a minor in Health, Humanities, and Medicine. I am passionate about storytelling and its expression through various mediums, including culture, media, photography, journalism, film, and music. My research examines how these art forms are used in media to amplify underrepresented voices and promote social advocacy.

Through both films and writing, I have explored my city of Baltimore, as well as my culture, and upbringing. My passion for diverse perspectives and communication is deeply rooted in my love for Cultural Anthropology & African American history and culture. I am especially inspired by the media that amplifies these narratives, through music, film, and journalistic publications. After graduating with a bachelor's degree in Communications, I hope to one day be a Journalist, Filmmaker, Art Director, or contribute to Nonprofit Think Tanks and craft impactful messages for society through a variety of mediums. I am determined to use my skills to share meaningful perspectives through storytelling and creativity.
