The three textile pieces I choose were from the select pieces David Adjaye thought were well made and designed with intricate details. His entire collection displayed multiple african cultures throughout pervious centuries.The first textile I found interesting was the Pelete Bite Wrapper. This textile is from the 1930’s and it is produced from a woven plain weave thread work. This particular textile was made from indian cotton that was woven with stripes and plaid or checks. From there women would pull threads with a needle to have only the light and bright threads left. The process would leave a geometric design and checked ground woven fabric. This fabric had two different geometric designs that offer two different tones of dark blue.

In the end we googled him to find out that he was, in reality, a musician and a composer from the classical and Romantic era.

I am hard working, ambitious and creative. Many who know me say that I am super organized, very social and good at noticing details. I love to work with others as I see it as an opportunity to learn and to gain a new friend. I have acquired many leadership experiences from Key Club, STEM, Swim managing, band leadership, etc. Each of these experiences has taught me something different. For example, being the Boy’s Swim Team manager I learned how to work with a group of 70 teenage boys. Also, with all the extracurricular activities that I do, I am superb at managing my time. What I can contribute to Youth Council is all the knowledge that I have gained over the years through all the activities I do and fresh, new ideas.
