Inspiration

The recent events of the Black Lives Matter protests really struck a chord in me. Since as a girl of color myself I went about researching ways that I could further advocate for the cause. I stumbled upon the story of Breonna Taylor one day. The story of a strong and powerful woman who was murdered in her own home. There were no repercussions for her murderers, simply a paid leave. Therefore I wanted to spread awareness and show activism by making a website dedicated to her. To the black lives matter movement.

What it does

The home pages talks about what happened to Breonna Taylor. To educate others about what really happened to her. The take action page shows activism, where you can take action to help get her justice. Where anyone can go and make a change. It includes a script that you can read off when you call anyone that is listed. Therefore making it easier to advocate for breonna Taylor with less stress.

How I built it

I first used HTML to make the website's guidelines. To make sure that everything was connected. I didn't know much about coding but I researched on my own and watched the recordings of the workshops. I figured a way to make a website from basically no coding skills prior.

Challenges I ran into

I was a total beginner, I didn't have any experience beforehand. I also was just coding by myself since I am here for the learning experience by myself. Therefore I ran into a lot of challenges. For one, getting the CSS elements to do what I wanted to was hard in itself. Also a small detail of when you click on an item in the checklist it gets crossed out. There is a small amount of java just to give life to the site. But the whole project overall was such a challenge because of my lack of experience.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am extremely proud of the website since I had no coding experience prior to this. I am especially proud of the take action page since I think that it is easy to use and friendly for anyone who goes on it. Considering I knew nothing it made me feel accomplished.

What I learned

I learned so many things that I could go all day. I learned about things not only from the workshops but from coding and learning skills. I learned the basics of html and tried to develop more and more to make the site have more functionality.

What's next for Stand with Breonna

I would like to add a widget but it is still in progress. I was trying to code it but there were still bugs. Therefore if I have more time I would like to add that!
