Participant Quotes:

P h o t o V o ic e e x h ib i t

“I learned that they trick you with pictures

in fashion magazines. It’s not always the

real body of the person you see, but something that they scanned into the

computer.”

-Vivian, Media Literacy

“Before Photovoice, I looked at my

community from a whole different perspective. Photovoice taught me how

to appreciate my community.”

-Yaileen, Photo Voice

“This class is important to me because I

learned that there are many ways you can protect yourself by doing simple basic

moves. I also learned that anything you do to

stay safe is Self Defense!” -Claudayzia, Action for Safety
