Photo-Journal: The Process
This photo journal is very much a self reflection. I wanted to explore the theme of black womynhood, with an emphasis on the idea of crazy, inexplicable feelings leading to a conscious and political statement.
I took all of the images myself. I also edited them and curated them. I also designed the layout of the photo journal.
As for the process for choosing the text, I drew from readings (Beloved, bell hooks conversation) we had in class as well as in class conversations (intersectionality, love, and my bringing womanism to the classroom dynamic). I also used my personal writing and one of my favorite books, The Autobiography of Assata Shakur.
The journal is attached below as a PDF.
Also, here is a link to the online book! The PDF looks great, but the online book gives a fuller effect.
Enjoy!
