I used Abdurraqib’s text as a model to help build my first draft. Craft moves I borrowed were tone, imagery, and symbolism. Abdurraqib’s text allowed me to reflect on racial and cultural matters which gave me an idea of what I wanted to write about. He incorporated a lot of real-life situations and how big of an impact those problems can bring to society or the target group. The craft moves he used were really good for his topic, so I decided to borrow these craft moves in order to create a similar vibe.
