Thesis Paper:
Action Project Description:
My goal for my action project was to be able to bring awareness to the stigma centered around depression. I wanted to bring awareness by writing spoken word poetry in order to empathize with those suffering from depression as well as bringing awareness as to what that experience is like. To do this I created an instagram page and wrote a book of poetry. I posted exerts of my poetry along with captions relating to my own experiences, and information that I found throughout my research like statistics and ways to combat the stigma.
