I intend for this research essay to not only educate readers on a new community and organization, but to show minority people, specifically women, that there is a place for us. I don’t want minority women to think that there is no place for us on the campus. Yes, there are many other black organizations, but the fact that there is a community specifically for minority women is refreshing. The readers I am directing this towards are college students. From one of my peer reviews, they said that they did not know an organization like this existed. To officially know that I am educating someone on a new thing is exciting, and I hope other college students can gather that interest of my community. My process was really just trying to look back into how I felt when I first found ESTEEM. How good it made me feel, how excited I was at the induction ceremony, and how helpful we are to each other. I already spoke with the president and vice president of the organization about setting up my interview, and I have a couple more people who would not mind being interviewed. The feedback from my peers was very helpful, because of the positive words I was receiving from them. It gave me reassurance that I was on the right track for my research.
