My name is Ashley Zukowski and I want to change the world. As big and naïve as that may sound, I know that with the work I want to do, I can make, at the very least, a small impact that I can hope will spread far and wide.
Why a Creative Director for Social Change? In my undergrad at Hamline University I have majored in Social Justice with a concentration in Social Change through the Arts. I believe one of the strongest ways to make society see a problem and to, therefore, make a change, is through art. People come together for art, no matter their political views or different ideologies. Music, art exhibits, literature, movies, etc. bring people of all backgrounds together. This can be used both negatively and positively (as we see how some music and media outlets can lead to false ideas and prejudices) but I want to use these sources to provide a positive social change for people of all gender identities, races, classes, and minorities.
