"Pieces of We"

This past semester I was working on a prototype of a book-- or i guess now i want to call it a zine-- for young girls. I wanted this zine to give young girls a positive and strong image of a girl/woman. I asked several of my friends three questions: who you are? what you stand for? and what your definition of a strong woman is? i was so amazed by these ladies responses. there are more responses i have to add to complete this. My hope is that I'll eventually have at least 15 girls featured in the zine, at least 9 quote pages from notable women in history, and maybe 8 or so special topics. I want to find some organization that may help me get this mass produced and distribute it around the Richmond area, or wherever i may end up after leaving Richmond. Hope to have them for free in bookstores, schools, community centers, etc.

If you're able to read these pages, i apologize for any spelling or grammatical errors on the special topics page about relationships. There are several things i still need to perfect with this and add in. But i enjoyed the process and learned and grew a lot from it. Man, this is why i love what i do. With the gift that God chose to give me I can choose to use it to hopefully help/inspire others in some sort of way. It makes me feel extremely fulfilled and overjoyed. Hope you enjoy, and would love to hear any suggestions if you have any. You can email or comment on here: carterac@vcu.edu. Its definitely something I'd like to complete and your suggestions could help me make this something spectacular.

I really enjoyed this Ashleigh. I think its a very good idea. I loved the concept; it worked well with the layout and design. :) yea man, you are talented. This would be great to be available for free in bookstores and places of the like. Keep it up Ashleigh.
