On October 15th, the rest of the Clutch Vol. 4 girls and I experienced our very first batch of workshops. It was understood days prior that our jam-packed day would consist of a jewellery workshop, a financial literacy one right after and a block printing workshop to wrap it all up.
To be honest, when the financial literacy workshop was first mentioned, 3 questions instantly came to mind, “What the hell is financial literacy?” “What does this have to do with Clutch?” and “How will I possibly be able to stay awake through this one?” But beginning with her blazer and briefcase-less outfit, Rhowena Adolfo’s financial literacy workshop was far from what I had expected it to be.
Off to work. "What is your probable, almost, certain future?"

Kate Fraser, an arts based coordinator at Schools Without Borders, began our photography workshop by telling us a little bit about herself and the past projects she was a part of. One project was My City My Story, “a community photography project that gives young photographers access to the equipment, resources and mentorship to develop a body of work that contributes untold stories about community and social justice to the public narrative.” Through this project, we were able to see a group of individuals tell their own stories through photography.
