Help me give my students (especially my brilliant brown girls) the ability to feel good about themselves by learning that sweet (the perfume, the lotion, the chapstick) and simple (no makeup - just you) goes a long way.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Students
Our students are Hispanic and African-American. They are limited in resources, with over 90% of them qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
We try our best to create an environment that is safe and open while giving them meaningful experiences to enhance their lives.
Many of our students are also teen parents or dealing with identity issues. Due to those factors and lack of resources, many of them are on their own with the responsibility to find shelter and food. Our students find ways to get creative with limited supplies. They are thankful for new things and look forward when we are able to expose them to new things. Our students come to school for stability and the chance to forget about their circumstances while working to provide a better life for themselves.
My projects are about giving my students the best experiences while they are in school and providing them with what they need to be the best student possible - socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.
My Project
This is another project for my girls group called JUICE. We talk about self-esteem and how it really starts with how you feel and SEE yourself. Many of our girls need to understand the art of simplicity and sweetness. They spend so much time "putting on a face" that they can lose who they are. The session for this project is about building self by recognizing the inner and outer beauty of just being YOU! In addition, we know how influential pop culture is, we are going to help them see how beautiful they are with the simple things - a little bit of perfume (it's nice to smell good and leave a sweet memory of you), it's awesome to just wash your face (remove the makeup), moisturize (lotion and chapstick), and let the world receive the real you!
Our goal is to let them see that even with just a little accent (perfume, lotion, chapstick) they are just as beautiful as they are with the "full face".
