" Self-Love: The Last Hope Standing "
Relational Communication Capstone
I embarked on an investigation of how young adults understand self-love and apply it to their own lives.
​
From this research, I articulated an emergent theory, three subthemes, and six suprathemes.
​
Some of these themes include the rejection of self-love, social media messages regarding perfection, varying understandings of self-love and societal expectations across genders, and controversy over loving yourself before loving someone else.

" Whitness: What it means to be white "
Here is a critique, anecdote, and personal reflection of racism within America according to the lens of "whiteness".
​
"Whiteness" is a term I learned through the Communication & Social justice class that is used in social justice rhetoric to describe the systematic, cultural, and privileged way of being that people of color suffer form.
​
This is a personal reflection of what the term means experentially in my life and includes anti-racist authors who have also spoken on the term as well.
