The narrative of racialization, its effects on the individual, and paths towards unification are revealed through the first-hand stories that collide in Walk In My Shoes.
The storytellers in Walk In My Shoes represent Atlanta’s multiplicity. To give a frame of reference, here are some of their stories:
- Two Indian-American sisters debate their responsibility to continue wearing the hijab after experiencing years of harassment from students and teachers during high school.
- Two LGBT+ activists find the root of their friendship, despite being white and black, in the shared experience of homophobia during the early 1980s.
Some are black. Some are white. Some are gay. Some are straight. Some are young. Some are old. Some are women. Some are men. All of them are Atlantans. All of them have a story to share.
From the collision of their stories, similarities and permutations of the 21st century racialized experience expose themselves. A narrative forms which can be broken down into the chapters of Walk In My Shoes:
1. Initial Otherization
2. Self-Loathing & Self-Manipulation
3. Fear
4. Social Reinforcement
5. Complications
6. Pride & Self-Acceptance
7. Sources of Unification
While the proximity of Atlanta’s diversity provides the tension and conflicts that these storytellers’ stories capture, their proximity also provides the opportunity for progress, inclusion, equity, and unification.
