RECLAIMING CREATION VICTORY!
This page presents my Justice Design Thinking portfolio for Fall 2025, developed as part of my I-607 course at McCormick Theological Seminary.
Making space for Economic Development and Clean Air on the Southside of Chicago!
Naming the Injustice and Building Awareness
What environmental and economic injustices are impacting my community, and why do they matter theologically?
How I interpret the theologies of leadership, change and creativity impacting the engagement of church and community - as reflected in this project's development.
Artifacts, visuals, and feedback collected along the way from peers, stakeholders, and ministry partners (including VoiceThread reflections, prototype images, and design exercises).
Co-Creation as a Path to Justice
This journey reshaped my understanding of leadership, creativity, and justice, and it has laid a foundation for future ministry work and potential dissertation research. Ultimately, this project reaffirmed that justice is not achieved individually but through co-creating with the people God has entrusted to us, honoring their differences, strengths, and dreams.
