Ad Council Yearbook Darlene 2024

Description

This video piece for the Ad Council project titled Yearbook Darlene features an interview with an adult Black woman who reflects on returning to school to earn her high school diploma later in life. Shot inside a dimly lit empty classroom with natural light filtering through windows, the woman wears a vibrant pink blouse with textured sleeves. She is seated at a student desk, speaking candidly and smiling warmly while sharing her personal journey of educational perseverance. The video intersperses these classroom interview scenes with close-up profile shots near a window and archival photographs from a yearbook layout, capturing a narrative of resilience, family, and achievement.
