Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do. https://renitajames.com/portfolio daily 0.75 2024-04-05 https://renitajames.com/education daily 0.75 2024-04-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b7aa34c99d0226237932b6/9cc8f3ce-d9fc-4296-8292-dd53c36660ba/tempImagejRhBtf.jpg Education In direct conversation with Our Skin: A First Conversation About Race by Megan Madison and Jessica Ralli with art by Isabel Roxas, this activity plan explores conversations surrounding race with young people. https://renitajames.com/firstconvo daily 0.75 2026-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b7aa34c99d0226237932b6/3172e500-a8c3-46f4-9495-eaa9e0f8d76d/tempImageFcjE7i.jpg Our First Conversation about Race Print both pages of the coloring template - Glue the sheet with the boxes on so that the boxes are facing you on one side of the paper. On the other side of the paper glue the outline of a person so that, the person is facing you. You should have an image on each side of the paper. Label the six boxes as following o What do you love about yourself? o What do you love about your skin? o What makes you happy? o What are you good at? o What does your family call you? o Decorate your name! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b7aa34c99d0226237932b6/c6c11750-9966-41a7-a995-fc78fd1aa278/tempImagezXTW9P.jpg Our First Conversation about Race - - On the side with the outline of a person, you and your young person (or class) will draw themselves. They can either draw themselves as they are today or draw themselves in their favorite outfit. Make sure that skin tone is close as possible. You may need to get skin tone-colored markers if you don’t have them already. - https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b7aa34c99d0226237932b6/cb48e3e4-ce9a-4174-81a2-7a9088a3625c/tempImagecD6IaG.jpg Our First Conversation about Race - - Fill in the 6 boxes with words, drawings or symbols. Once the drawings are finished you and your young person (or class) will fold the paper so that the boxes are visible over the drawing of the person ( Hotdog style). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b7aa34c99d0226237932b6/f090546d-123f-444e-8730-7ebf69c9fd42/tempImagensCcLn.jpg Our First Conversation about Race - - Once sides are folded you will cut along the black line careful not to cut completely through the piece, but treating it as a hinge. - Now you can open and fold the flaps as you see fit over the image of the person, so that you can always see some aspect of the child, but also see something special about them. https://renitajames.com/testimonials daily 0.75 2026-03-21
