Currently, this piece is published in the third volume of Convergence Rhetoric, an undergraduate Writing and Rhetoric research journal. It details the personal story of a remarkable individual—once a teacher, now a friend—questioning her status while growing up in a privileged white household during a time of segregation and civil rights activism. This work deals with themes of racial justice and identity formation as it describes how certain literacy artifacts and practices contributed to my former teacher’s identity as a social justice advocate and a scholar in the world. This article demonstrates not only a sample of my interpersonal skills, but my ability to artfully combine theory, research, and narrative.
