I was born and raised in a small town in Iowa. My parents were both teachers, and they instilled in me a love of learning from a young age. I was always a good student, and I excelled in math and science. I knew from a young age that I wanted to serve my country, so I joined the military after high school.
I served in the military for 10 years. I was stationed in Europe and the Middle East, and I saw a lot of combat. I lost some good friends during my time in the military, but I also made some lifelong friends. I learned a lot about myself and about the world during my time in the military, and I am grateful for the experiences I had.
After I left the military, I decided to become a teacher. I wanted to share my love of learning with others, and I wanted to help make a difference in the world. I now teach elementary school in Chicago, and I love my job. I get to work with amazing kids every day, and I feel like I am making a difference in their lives.
I am married and I have two young children. My wife is also a teacher, and we are both passionate about our work. We are raising our children to be kind, compassionate, and responsible citizens. We want them to grow up to be people who make a difference in the world.
Emma Chen, 25, Chinese-American works as a graphic designer and volunteers as a mentor for underprivileged youth.
As a child growing up in Lebanon, the vibrant colors and rich textures of Middle Eastern culture fascinated me. The traditional craftsmanship, the intricate embroidery, and the centuries-old techniques spoke to my soul. From an early age, I knew that I wanted to channel this passion into a career in the world of fashion.
I moved to Paris to pursue my dreams and immerse myself in the fashion capital of the world. It was there that I honed my skills, studying under esteemed designers and immersing myself in the diverse fashion landscape. But I also felt a strong calling to bring the beauty and heritage of my Lebanese roots to the forefront of the industry.
With determination and a vision, I established my own fashion label, driven by a mission to promote cultural diversity and inclusivity on the runway. I made it my purpose to incorporate traditional Middle Eastern craftsmanship into my designs, showcasing the intricate embroideries, luxurious fabrics, and unique silhouettes that were deeply rooted in my cultural heritage.
Breaking barriers and challenging stereotypes, I presented collections that seamlessly blended contemporary aesthetics with traditional craftsmanship. I wanted to showcase the richness of Middle Eastern culture and its influence on the world of fashion. Through my designs, I sought to celebrate the beauty and diversity of our global community.
Over the years, my work has been recognized and celebrated on international runways. I have had the privilege of collaborating with artisans and craftsmen, elevating their skills and preserving the art forms that are so deeply connected to our identity. Through my label, I strive to not only create beautiful garments but also to empower the communities from which they originate.
Today, as a Lebanese-born fashion designer, I continue to push boundaries and inspire change. I believe that fashion has the power to transcend borders, bridging cultures, and fostering understanding. Through my journey, I hope to inspire the next generation of designers to embrace their heritage, celebrate diversity, and use their creative platforms to make a lasting impact on the world of fashion.
Meet James Wright, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Boston, Massachusetts
My name is Ava Thompson, and I'm a 29-year-old freelance writer from New Orleans, Louisiana. I was born and raised in the city, and I've always had a passion for writing. As a child, I would write stories and poems in my journal, and I loved sharing them with my family and friends.
After graduating from high school, I attended college in New York City, where I majored in English and Creative Writing. Living in New York was a big adjustment for me, but I loved the energy and diversity of the city. I interned at a few different magazines and publishing companies, which gave me valuable experience and helped me build my writing portfolio.
After graduating from college, I moved back to New Orleans and started freelancing full-time. It was tough at first to find regular work, but I persevered and eventually built up a roster of clients. I write about a variety of topics, including food, travel, and culture, but my favorite assignments are the ones that allow me to delve into social justice issues and tell stories that need to be heard.
When I'm not writing, I love exploring New Orleans and trying new restaurants and bars. I also enjoy reading, yoga, and spending time with my dog, a rescue named Rufus. Freelancing can be unpredictable, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I love the flexibility and independence it provides, and I feel fortunate to be able to make a living doing something I'm truly passionate about.
Meet Maria Gonzalez, 41, a Mexican-American woman with cerebral palsy who advocates for disability rights and accessibility in her community. She is also an accomplished artist and uses her disability as inspiration for her work.
My name is Marcus Johnson, and I am a proud African-American chef. Cooking has always been a passion of mine, ever since I was a kid watching my grandmother make soul food dishes in her kitchen. I loved the way that food could bring people together and create a sense of community.
After high school, I went to culinary school and honed my skills as a chef. I worked in restaurants and hotels, but I always felt like something was missing. I wanted to create food that celebrated my culture and heritage, and I didn't see many opportunities to do that in the mainstream food industry.
So, I decided to start my own catering business that specializes in soul food and African diaspora cuisine. I wanted to create dishes that were both delicious and meaningful, and that celebrated the rich culinary traditions of the African diaspora.
Running my own business has not been easy, but it has been incredibly rewarding. I have been able to share my passion for cooking with others and create a community around my food. I have also been able to use my business to support other Black-owned businesses and give back to my community.
As a Black chef, I know that there are still many challenges facing people of color in the food industry. But I am committed to creating change and using my platform to advocate for more diversity and inclusivity in the culinary world. And most importantly, I will always keep cooking and sharing my love of food with others.

The project began by exploring what AI would do if asked to create profiles of various people. This has slowly evolved since inception and while we began with ChatGPT, we have since created lists with Bing and Google Bard.
After the initial character prompts were made, they were used to create the portrait photos in Midjourney. Additional prompts were given based on the general information such as location (for backdrop) and setting (occupation).
After the images were created, and we had a little visual inspiration, we went back to ChatGPT (later Bard and Bing) to write first-person backstories for the characters.
