My series of Tik Tok videos were created in accompianiment of my op-ed article (the first project featured on this page). Specifically, they take the ideas presented in my long-form article and tranform them into easy-to-digest-and-circulate 30-second videos. Each video takes a slightly different angle, all of which are featured wholly in the original article: A) the irony of the insurrection, B) why we already knew we needed immigration reform and C) why the US Citizenship Act of 2021 is the solution we've been waiting for.
Overall, composing these tik toks entailed researching, compiling content, writing persuasive and effective scripts, recording myself speaking, and editing video. All of these actions reinforced my video-making skills immensely, and furter developed my skills in creating short video specifically for social media like Tik Tok and Instagram, through IGTV and Reels. I am apt in creating not only written and image-based content, but also in composing video content; specifically, video content that influences and educates audiences, and actually makes a difference. I know what it takes to get engagement on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and the like.
