Self Assessment

In regards to my blog, I believe I have done a very good job of making it as consistent and informative as possible. The issue of African Americans losing their natural identities and falling into the stereotypical mold of what society has deemed as "beautiful" has become more and more abundant with each on coming year. African Americans are either trying to be something they are not, or simply boxing themselves into stereotypes of what society has built for them. Many of us have begun to lose our sense of beauty from what our ancestors had cherished. By making this blog, I believe I have opened the opportunity for African Americans to become aware of an issue that has commonly been unnoticed or simply ignored for years. With the research I have found, along with my added opinion, I strongly believe my point is strongly affective into finding a solution. But rather than a solution, I simply just want the majority of African Americans to become aware and educated on this issue. With the videos, pictures, and links I have posted on the blog, I can honestly say that new media has been a very beneficial source in the fulfillment of my goal. Alot of times, people would rather watch videos or look at pictures rather than read texts which is what I have provided and available. In terms of improvement to my blog, I can probably add more personal references to help support my claim. Showing people's personal experiences about issues to others makes the problem seem much more real and attracts people simply through emotions. I want my blog viewers to have a sense of emotional attachment to my blog and the issue it presents to others about African Americans. My notable strengths would be that, me being an African American, I can better relate to my blog posts and theme helping make the issue even more believable. I want my readers to have the same attachment as I do. My only weakness may be my lack of substances and emotional connection between blog and readers. I need to appeal more to the emotions. However, I am very proud of what I have come up with so far, in terms of my blog, and am excited to see the end result.
