Genevieve's Reflection
At the beginning of the semester when Emily suggested to do a project on Asexuality and Aromaticism, I never thought it would turn out like this. My ideas of capstone projects were vague an I expected to have to do a huge project involving a huge group of people being brought together to learn about these mysterious new sexual (in this case non-sexual) preferences, and I am glad that it did not turn out this way. Both Emily and I are introverts and would have had a hard time speaking to a large crowd of people we had never met. Instead, we ended up creating a project more suited for the introverted parts of our group while still reaching the goal of a large audience and a long lasting effect. I'm glad that we got to use my connections to the librarians at Austin high in such a positive way and I am very thankful for how kind and helpful they were in helping us. It was fun working with my group members to create a unique project that created a unique way to create awareness in our community.
Through our project I hope that we help to spread awareness and equality for those who identify with these orientations, as well as those with orientations that are still not in common knowledge. I hope that our advocacy for awareness, although subtle, will provide information to those who identify with these orientations and those who wish to learn about some of the more obscure sexual orientations. Our use of the library, a place made for learning, to spread information will appeal to those who wish to learn and those who are seeking answers.
If I could change anything, I would have tried to get in contact with more librarians in order to further spread our impact in the community. I would also want to try harder to sell more asexuality and aromantacism buttons in order to spread more awareness and so that we could properly repay the kindness of the librarians who helped us complete this project.
