Today I worked on researching more sources, and talking to my peers about how I could narrow down my idea to something that made it easier to talk about. I know I want to talk about intersectionality with women of color, trans, and the gay community. But how do I choose a specific topic of research? How do I make it make sense?? I think I'm thinking too hard on it, and putting a lot of pressure on myself. I want to go back to my original idea of creating posters that replace the typical stereotypes of white people or white men and instead put minorities and people who are oppressed daily in their place, to show what "normal" could be. I want to centralize on how white supremacy is still here today and we just don't see it because everything we grew up on conditioned us to think it was "normal"

Even this photo below is trying to depict how unfair it is in the job community by reversing gender roles. But look at the ratio of white women to other races. It's astounding how people can't even see that this picture-even with good intentions-is wrong....where is everyone else???
