Oppression Fashion Show 2012-2013
My experience at the 2012
Oppression Fashion show was absolutely tremendous. The reason that I had such a
good time was because I liked the way that we used fashion design to make a
statement about oppression. This form of art was very unique. It was great to
see so many people, of all ethnicities, come together to discuss oppression. The
whole event was astonishing.
I have obtained knowledge about
other people’s stories through my participation in the fashion show. Knowing
these stories helps me to go into different communities around the New Orleans
area with a new perspective. Now I know that everyone that I come into contact with
does not have the same story, and it makes me be more understanding of
different people’s situation.
I can’t say that I relate to all of
the stories that were presented, but because of the Oppression Fashion Show I
know that oppression is out there. As an intern at AFSC, I will do everything
in my power to help those that are dealing with extreme oppression.
