Daneaja’s passionate desire to spread awareness for equality and unity stemmed from her constant movement as a military child. Through vast schools and communities, Daneaja discovered the brutality that came from ignorance. This discovery has stemmed her passion to find ways to help make information accessible and compelling to a wide range of people. As a creative, Daneaja works on creating templates for Instagram posts. These templates are then used to post information while gaining the viewer’s eyes and ultimate interest. With the help of the Ruth Project, Daneaja hopes to gain experience and knowledge on how to reach people about important issues/topics, not only sharing information with peers and others, but also to learn more herself.
