During her time at CSUN, Mass Communication alumna Sarah Shabbar actively participated in the workshop One of Us, which provides camera and training for the homeless community to document their own lives.
Shabbar learned how to film and photograph, but most importantly she listened to the participants' stories.
Through the workshop and the mentorship of its creator, professor David Blumenkrantz, Shabbar developed her thesis project, an online portal with the goal of "Destigmatizing the image of homeless women in Los Angeles, California."
Shabbar conducted several interviews and allowed the women to tell their own stories, free from reporting biases or prejudices found in news coverage of the issue.
She formed a deep bond with the women she interviewed and credits the master's program with her becoming a better storyteller and activist.
