Jackson Heights (Jermaine Williams)
The visit to Jackson Heights was filled with good food, smells and sounds of a community filled with diversity. We found that people did not want to stop and talk in the rain , it took some finesse to have people talk to us. After asking people “are you in a rush” a couple of times and people answering yes and quickly dismissing us, we started opening up with “are you from Jackson Heights.?” After approaching people with a better conversation opener our interviews went well. We interviewed three people from different age groups, and ethnic backgrounds. The only thing I wish was different is the weather it was a cloudy day.
