Initially written for my International Journalism class, this personal essay was chosen to be included in our university magazine Lennon Wall Magazine. It is a story about my Azerbaijani roots, mixed background and the feeling of belonging.
This story was not only written but also styled by me. It was a great fashion experience for me and I would love to do more work like this.
