Our project is a sign of many things, including history, sisterhood, black culture, dance, and more. In a mini-course, Salena and I decided to teach black girls dance routines, and we also taught them the history of dance throughout black culture. We also decided to teach the students about the history of dance in short lessons. We have taught two different routines, each with its own style and level of difficulty. We are very proud of our students for being able to learn these routines and show their style and individuality at every rehearsal. I can’t wait to find out what they will do next. They have also come up with a routine on their own, based on the five values we teach them at every rehearsal. We have also had a lot of discussions where we talk about things going on in our community and how they affect our dance lives and lives in general. We are always firm about how we talk about these issues so that our students know they can speak up and use their voices to make a difference in their communities. Change has been brought about in many ways, and dance is one of them. We want our students to feel proud of themselves and care about each other and themselves. As teachers, we have worked hard and made mistakes from time to time, but our students show that the hard work we have done has paid off. We hope that what we taught them has stuck with them.

This video is split into 2 parts about Sanai, Ainyah, and Walsend’s issues with food insecurity and their actual experiments. They also discuss what politicians (their target audience) could be doing to help citizens in Philadelphia gain better access to healthy, affordable food. I feel that the video itself is done well. I wish we could have made it a bit shorter to make it all one video but we wanted to give you all a full experience. The most meaningful part to me was our discussions. It really gives our perspectives on what we feel needs to be done and how it should be carried out to affect all citizens.

In some ways, the global water crisis and all of the work that has been done to stop it may be seen as environmental justice. There are still steps we need to take to figure out what caused the problem and figure out how the most time-consuming procedures can be used to make sure drinking water is safe and clean. I came to this conclusion because of the evidence that has been all over the places where I live and work. Pennsylvania, Alabama, Texas, Indiana, and so on are some of the more well-known places.
