Week 10: EPILOGUE

 I can say for sure this was a successful module; from not liking the class initially to always looking forward to it, this module has enlightened me on the UN and the SDGs.it has harnessed my writing skills, the challenge of having to write Blogs every week. 

This module has given me basic insights into the happenings in Nigeria and other countries. From beautiful trouble, to cultural jamming as a tool and strategy for challenging the status quo.

The classes has been interactive where we have shared ideas with each other and expanded our knowledge.

Having worked on SDG 9 and the Fashion industry, I have been able to know the negative effects of fast fashion and how to make it more sustainable. Coming from a well known community in Nigeria called Aba which is known for having a large clothing market., I feel the need to enlighten them on how to make their market more sustainable.

PEER MENTORING AND TEAM WORK

Being in a group of  five with different background, we put in our best to make it work, I would not say we didn’t have major altercations as we almost went physical with each other at some point. Our ability to resolve our issues at the end was remarkably impressive. I was tasked with working on the fashion magazine, I knew I had to put up my A game, I worked on it with Eucharia, I had to place myself in the imaginary world of fast fashion in other to be able to create a magnificent piece, As a creative writer with lots of unpublished works, I knew I had to differentiate fiction from non fiction in order to tell a relatable story that resonates with the audience.

I won’t say I wasnt intimidated by other groups artifacts, most of them carried camera to shoot films but just like my mum would say “whatever you do, do best’’. I found solace in this words and with the help of my team mates, we were able to conquer at last.

It’s soo emotional, but I draw the curtains here!! Adios
