Doing this project was a wonderful experience. There were many obstacles throughout the semester to complete this project, but I was very happy with the time I was able to spend at DSA and really get to know my subject. I would really like to thank Shamari for allowing me into her life to be able to do this project. I appreciate how open she was and comfortable with me photographing her during her classes and after-school events. I would also like to thank her art and dance teachers, as well as all of her coaches for allowing me visit so that I could take pictures.
