Telling diverse stories
Fresh Voice: Peter Atchley
Left: Here is a link to my story, this is one of the first editorials I ever wrote. A Fresh Voice is an editorial given to freshmen who are in the Journalism I class. My story was about anti-LGBTQ legislation and how it would affect me as Queer person. I also talked about my experience growing up as a closed Queer person. This story is very important to me, and I am glad I was able to become a representation of other boys who liked playing with Barbies. I am so glad I was able to share my identity through this piece because it means so much to me.
There's history in the baking
Left: Here is a link to a story I wrote about the Black History Month Bake-Off. The competition was rooted in the history of ingredient restrictions placed on post-slavery African Americans and Black people during the Jim Crow era. With this story, I was able to give a new life to this piece of forgotten Black history. I am very happy with how this story was able to come out, I both previewed an event and retold a story of racial injustice. I hope you read this story because it shows my commitment to telling diverse stories very well.
