Project Execution Process Phase 1: Research In-depth research was conducted before writing, designing, and illustrating to learn more about the importance of multi-racial representation in media. In addition to researching multi-racial experiences in media, I researched children’s book design and writing. See “Research” for significant findings.
Phase 2: Writing Before I began writing, I had the title, My Mom Makes French Toast with Chopsticks, finalized. I knew the story would be about growing up bi-racially, but I did not know what would happen in the story yet. I struggled with this for about two weeks, until I decided to do a free writing exercise. While free writing, I recalled various childhood memories that I felt contributed to my identity formation and association with Korean culture. See below for samples from my free writing exercise.
