Naihema Powell Capstone

For my senior capstone I decided to put together a fashion / talent showcase. This showcase took place on May 1st 2015 at the First Unitarian theatre. My role in the show was events coordinator. From booking a venue to running numbers, to hiring a crew, to putting together proposals and arranging the talent, I was able to put this show together in a little under 3 months. Now, in order to have a show you of course need talent, while i am not very talented my peers are. I reached out to 6 other students, Jaazaniah, Jeremiah, Jamira, Sophia, Thomas and  Ashley, all of which were able to take there capstone and somehow incorporate it into the showcase. Jamira, Sophia and Ashley designed all of the clothes in the show, while Jaazaniah, aside from co hosting put together a cypher alongside Jeremiah. Thomas was a great help in sharing his experience, since he put together a showcase last year. He also gave us some of his music from his EP, From the Heart, which was preformed at the showcase as well. Throughout this process, even though it was stressful and at times I doubted myself, I am proud to say it was a great turn out. I am proud of the work I did, and am seriously considering taking up events as a minor in college. Hopefully I can improve my work, getting more organized and perhaps make a career out of it much like my mother.
