Eva Woolridge on Karen Jordan
I'm a huge fan of animation, and I want to explore this world of creativity more thoroughly. It seems to me that TikTok is a great and engaging way to test with new animated creations. It's always thrilling to see Black animators integrate blackness into their works. It's all about representation and I'm seeking a mentor who will take my personal experience when teaching the methods of animation.
