Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)
This project centers on the environmental justice issue of food deserts in low income, poor communities of color and also breaks down why these people and areas are targeted. Major ongoing systemic structures, such as environmental racism and redlining are defined and explained, with examples, to help the audience understand how this issue was created. Finally, my own positionality is incorporated for contrast, further explaining the systemic processes coming into play.
