We are a group of college students at Arizona State University who started this as their senior capstone project. Our names are McKenna Bustamante, Robert Dippel, Timothy Duncan, Ravipon Khampradith, and Sharliz Reyes. We felt very strongly about voicing our stories and the stories of others as a way to spread awareness about issues that face ourselves and our communities.
We aim to create an experience that resonates with our users both physically and mentally to prepare them for insightful discussions. Furthermore, having these conversations facilitates and shapes one’s identity regardless as they become more educated about the various aspects of people’s experiences. It will spread awareness and let more people be aware of what others might have going in their life.
The QR code on the front (left corner) of these cards directs users to a detailed profile of their character on this website that acts as a hub for exploration and discussion where you can learn more about the characters themselves, the issues they face, and how these issues can be combatted.
Almost everybody will face hardship in their life. It is important that we learn about what issues can affect you and those around you because everyone deserves a support system. If you find a character that struggles with similar things, you can access the resources available to assist with that. If you find a character that reminds you of someone you know, you can learn how to help them and share the resources provided on our site.
