Sydney Swanson, Teacher/Adviser

As a sixth year teacher at Holt, I am continuously learning from my students, while engaging in ambitious journeys to become an expert in the ever-changing world of journalism and striving to help my budding journalists reach their goals of becoming aspiring writers, reporters, photographers, and videographers.  Each and every one of them has a story to tell and I look forward to reading their words each and every single day.

My mask represents... my blackness and the hardships I have to deal with in todays society which has shaped me into who I am today (a strong independent black woman), Zaire Payne (‘22) said. The statement shows how we as black people have been torn down and how our words are not enough because people still tear us down no matter what is being said. This mask shows my personality because I use it as an empowering statement showing that I will be heard, listened to and never taken advantage of or torn down because of my skin color.
