Public project summary

What if a single story could change how you see homelessness and incarceration? Our project challenges common stereotypes by sharing personal narratives of resilience and transformation. Through an interactive multimedia journal, we aim to foster empathy and encourage informed discussions on reentry and social reintegration. Using qualitative research methods, we conducted case studies on individuals who overcame incarceration, analyzing how personal storytelling influences perception. Pre- and post-surveys measured shifts in participants' empathy and comfort levels, while participant observation captured real-time engagement and emotional responses. Finally, we gathered peer feedback through discussions to refine our journal, ensuring it effectively addresses reentry challenges. By humanizing these experiences, we strive to shift perspectives and promote a more compassionate understanding of those affected by homelessness and incarceration.
