I have been working in the restaurant industry for more then 5 years. For my end of semester project i decided to create an Instagram account , mediashady17
My main focus was to shed light and inform my coworkers about the dynamic relationships between Female vs Male go workers as well as costumers.
I stared talking to. Each co worker alone and see where he or she stands on the problem at hand. This was to see if they are aware of the difference in treatment and daily job expectations. Most of them had no idea what feminism meant. I had one of the Spanish speakers that spoke well English try to translate it but they still didn't know, Also those that had an idea or have heard of the word before said oh yea
"Those girls that do not want to shave " "the girls that want to dress like a man and have short hair". This showed me how hard of a job i am In for
The first step i had to take was try to talk to them daily and ask him how a male treated them in contrast with how a woman treated them. This was regardless of weather it was a coworker, or a manger or a costumer.
They send me pictures as well as i took some. But most of the pictures where just random that they couldn't give me a story behind it. So the Instagram started of slow but it is growing. Each picture will have a story and a narrative
Where is all starts
This illustrated how important the things i have learned are to be shared.
It was also eye opening because it mad me realize how many restaurants are in city
How many of them have a dominate Hispanic work force, and this work force is the hardest working but are not aware at times of the issues that they and their families may be facing
