Chukwuma Egbuzie ’19 believes everyone has a story to tell. He spent this summer documenting the tales of Worcester’s diverse citizens through photography.<\/p>\n

Egbuzie, an economics<\/a> and screen studies<\/a> double major, crafted the digital marketing project — “Global Citizens of Worcester” — during an internship with the International Center of Worcester<\/a>, an affiliate of the Seven Hills Foundation<\/a>. His first task: Define “global citizen.”<\/p>\n

“We described such an individual as a citizen of Worcester who engaged with the city,” he says. Marking the mileage from the person’s original home showed that “Worcester is a magnetic area.”<\/p>\n

With a set definition, Egbuzie hit the streets to snap his subjects’ photos and write a series of social media posts documenting Worcester’s global identity in the style of the popular Humans of New York<\/a> digital series.<\/p>\n

Egbuzie, who teaches photography to children and is the camera behind the WooTales Instagram account<\/a>, learned the art of persuasion through this LEEP project<\/a> and gained inspiration from those he met.<\/p>\n

“This project gave me ideas for character development. I hope to mix and remix the personalities I’ve met during the summer in screenplays,” he says.<\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
