My name is Kiarah Young. I’m from Sacramento, California. I am double majoring in Government and African American Studies. I am the LRT Digital Specialist. I work alongside Emmanuel Paris-Bouvret to digitize movies for professors. I also assist in recording lectures and editing them into full videos. I had prior experience with media before Wesleyan but, before working with Emmanuel I did not know about digitizing videos. In 2017, I founded Source Media Agency in Sacramento, CA. It is a youth-led media agency under the Sacramento City Unified School District that does digital content for campaigns focused on social justice and education. This media agency helped my growth as a person, taught me so many new skills, and brought me many new opportunities. I wanted to ensure I continued to do media work throughout college.
