Brooklyn neighborhoods such as Bedford Stuyvesant, Crown Heights and East New York had a spike in gun violence in 2019. What is being done to stop this gun violence? Save Our Streets (S.O.S.) is a community-based, non-profit organization that aims to end gun violence in neighborhoods like Bedford Stuyvesant and Crown Heights.

K-Pop has become a worldwide phenomenon. With bands like BTS, BLACKPINK, NCT, EXO and more taking the genre to genre to new heights and continuing to gain popularity in the United States, I wanted to hear the stories of an often underrepresented part of the K-pop fanbase community: Black fans. I made a short video for this project, where I highlighted the music genre's impact in the United States and personal interviews from Black K-Pop fans. Some of the interview subjects touched on what drew them to the genre and why they have a deep admiration for the artists they love.

I took pictures of each dish and used the graphic design tool called Canva to create the aesthetic appeal of the cookbook.
