Researching the backstory to Samira Surfs was interesting, illuminating, and emotionally demanding at the same time. I read history books to gain an understanding of Burma's complex history. Once I had the political and social context in place, I turned to the personal stories reported in the press or available on aid agency websites. In order to tell the story from Samira's point of view, I had to read first-hand accounts of Rohingya fleeing their burning homes under gunfire and other more violent attacks. That part was challenging for me, and I had to make sure I took time out for self-care, especially after seeing some photographs and news clips. Samira became a living, breathing person to me because I saw her story reflected in the faces of the young girls in the press. The look of despair and loss in their eyes is one that I'll never forget. Balancing the story with moments of positivity and hope became an essential part of the narrative. At the end of the day, the filters I looked through to tell Samira's journey informed the story's arc.

Aerie has released several groundbreaking campaigns and product images that have made fans love the brand even more than they already did.

And while the company has certainly made strides to become more inclusive, this new campaign is actually its first to show a person who is blind. One person on Twitter explained it perfectly: \"Every time @aerie announces the new #AerieReal role models I burst into tears. this stuff is life changing for girls and women.\"

\"After working the whole day, we would be taken to a building in the middle of nowhere to rest. All the girls were kept there. But because the place was so secluded, even if we would scream or shout for help, no one could hear us.\" Seclusion, close surveillance, violence and threats are some of the coercive techniques that traffickers use to keep their victims from running away. Many girls who are trafficked come from different parts of India and do not speak the local language. This makes it even more difficult to plan an escape or ask a customer for help.

As far as I know, out of 300 students, there are about 30 students of color in my entire school. My story is about how hard it is to be a Black teen around white teens and feel like you belong. We go through the pressures of school and the pressures of following the rules our parents taught us. The first rule that I was taught: not to sound like a Black girl, like the white stereotype of the Black girl without a good education. I was taught to do this thing Black people call code-switching. We use bigger words and give less personality when we talk around white folk.
