On Thursday, the second week at AYA was officially concluded. It’s incredible to think how we have zoomed past two weeks of our program. It also makes me sad to realize that my time at USC Annenberg will be short-lived in about two weeks. I understand that being here for the 4 weeks is a …

Second Week at AYA :0
The second week of AYA was another thrill for me. The second week was more fun for me because we got to do more projects. The podcast Rogelio assigned for us was a fun experience, I got to tinker with podcasting tools and use my skills in editing, which is something I like to do. …

2nd Week: AI & George Tirebiter
This second week felt shorter than the last, and maybe it’s because I have grown accustomed to the schedule between classes to speakers. I enjoyed this week’s guest speakers a lot as they were all different from each other but still were connected whether it was through journalism or civic engagement. Taj Frazier took time …
