I am a member of the Senior Ventures class, and the name of my project is Black Community Awareness. I sponsored the Black History Month Showcase iPeriod, and with assistance from art teacher Kathy O'Mara, we have painted portraits of famous African Americans. These portraits were unveiled today at the Black History Month Showcase, in the McCallie-Kennedy Center, and they will be on display through the first week of March.

The purpose of A Teen's Choice is to provide young women the support they need in order to shape them into leaders of the future. I was also able to sell chicken biscuits at the exhibit to raise money for this organization.
