During Cityside, our group created public art that was put up at the Peace and Plenty Community Garden. This video documents the process and finish project and the challenges we face due to COVID-19 and our personal experiences.
Impact of Covid on BreakThrough Providence
We talked with Drine Paul and her experience with Covid impacting BreakThrough Providence
For our Cityside project, our group has decided to focus on COVID-19 and how it has affected different types of buisnesses and orginizations. We want to reach out to churches and non profit organizations to gauge what has happened to them and how they have been affected by COVID-19. Our end goal is to post a video that includes our interviews showing what we have learned.
Refugees go through lots of difficulty, trouble, and trauma before they apply to come to the US. When they apply to come to the US, they go through a long difficult process to get accepted to come here. A lot of times they don't even get accepted and they did lots of work for no reason. But, if a refugee is accepted to come to the US, the trouble definitely doesn't end there. Refugees have to adapt to a new language, culture, way of life, and many other things. Also, some people treat them terribly and kids can be bullied in school, they could be made fun of, experience racism, and many other bad things. This is why we created a series of 3 podcasts. The podcasts help inform the community, stop the spread of misinformation, and help refugees in need.

Beautiful day: Who they are and what they do
This podcast is designed to start conversations about Beautiful Day and similar organizations. We give the basic information about Beautiful Day and what they do but we want to provoke conversations about their work.
A case study of COVID-19 and the Refugee Experience in Providence, Rhode Island
Our project is about refugees who come to the US, specifically in search of a job, and what unemployment means in the case of serious medical issues and pandemics. The specific case we studied was Mr. Kah, who is a Liberian refugee who came to the US to flee the civil war.
In this podcast, I talk about how COVID personally affected my life. I talk about what school and being at home was like during COVID.
