Description
I created a creative thesis project in which I discussed multiethnic identities in a children's story. It is a story about a young girl who is exploring who she is as an individual concerning her two cultures; Japanese and Brazilian. Looking at both cultures and applying equal weight and the importance of ensuring that she has a strong sense of self regarding ethnic socialization and identity formation which is extremely important to the foundation of a healthy sense of self.

Description
If you've spent any amount of time in fan circles, or even any community that discusses media, you've no doubt heard of the Mary Sue. A Mary Sue is a character who, through positive personality traits, skills, and aspects of their appearance, warps the story so that they are the most interesting thing in the story's universe. The Mary Sue stereotype, however, can be used for good as a good basis for an engaging and intriguing story, provided the author considers more than simply their own interests - in fact, so can many stereotypes, whether existing solely in fan communities or branching out into more mainstream fiction. As such, I present a short story starring "M.S.", a very basic Mary Sue who is aware of her status and utterly despises the lack of meaningful action in her life. When one of her close friends shows symptoms of becoming a Sue herself, M.S. brings together a group of equally stereotypical friends - from the Gay Best Friend to the Spicy Latina - and, through their impromptu intervention, learns some things about them - and about herself.

Description
This is a theatrical script for a personal narrative driven solo performance piece that focuses on advocating for the value and importance of pursuing civil discourse and intellectual humility in order to change people’s minds and find agreement among disagreement. It tracks a personal story of developing various, conflicting, worldviews and exploring how this conflict can be dealt with, as well as how it can inform dealing with others.
