Identity in the System

Posted by Siawale Vesslee in English 3 - Block - D on

For my podcast, I looked at how the system set up by society shapes peoples identity. For this, I interviewed many people and asked how they identified themselves. I focused on my mother, who immigrated from Liberia, and  how she grew up with strong traditional systems in her family. She goes into detail about how she was able to claim her own identity in a system that tried to give her an identity.
The process of the podcast was not that challenging. However when it came to the editing part, it was hard to know when and where to cut off. The easiest and the best part was finding and using music to be transitions or backgrounds of my podcast. I was able to choose music to fit my entire theme of my podcast and it shows in how the transition were smooth.

Strengths:

I really like the music you choose.

I think your introduction was very interesting.

I think that you did well coaxing stories out of your mom.

Improvements:

I would have kept the music under when you were talking in the intro, it kinda cut off suddenly.

I think you could have adjusted the volume to be a little more consistent.
