SUMMARY
Reflection
I learned more about different ways people can bring awareness to causes they cared about and used that to create my own way of showcasing my own causes that I care about.
Project Impact
Increase awareness of different conditions. Asked the people who I shared my account to if they felt like it made a difference and they said it made them want to learn more about the conditions showcased. I have only been able to see, tangibly, 10 people and their reactions and thoughts on my campaign.
