“A Day’s Journey” is a program that will not only impact the Westerners’ view of the varying qualities of life that exist all around the world, but will also show the less-fortunate, in nations such as Afghanistan, that life can be improved upon and unthinkable goals may be obtained with education and perseverance. The program will involve two students being photographed, one from Afghanistan and the other from the USA , who will portray an ordinary day in their lives by having twenty pictures at certain time intervals taken of them by girl photography students.

I launched Madison SOS (Speak Out, Sister!) at age 15, in the spring of 2007. I wanted to do something to address several issues in my community of Madison, Wisconsin relating to young women: poor self-esteem, political apathy, and little knowledge of how they as community members could affect grassroots change. A high school student myself, I decided to focus on the high school audience as my primary constituency.
