The work is unrelated to his career aspirations, but he works at the discount fashion chain to make ends meet. Travis is a part of a global generation of underemployed Millennials. In the US, unemployment hovers around 5.7% nationwide, but 16% amongst young adults, resulting in a palpable stagnation for people like Travis. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/103459874537d4401d130d10d64a8735_hd.jpg By the last leg of the trip Travis is exhausted.

Despite exhaustion, Travis stays up to browse music videos and researches directors whose work he admires. It is easier for him to stay awake and get his son prepared for school then to take a nap for two hours in between. At this time he gains his second wind to carry him until he drops off Zaire. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/6c1d0b9c12a024fe6db4d7e78df9aaea_hd.jpg View of the roof from a top floor window where Travis likes to spend time away from his family whose apartment is just one floor below. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/a79a91a6e26168a9d10bd52cb6014de7_hd.jpg Travis helps Zaire get on his sweater and jeans. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/7824d799ba3c6a0604e5af83973c87c6_hd.jpg Every morning Travis walks his son 10 blocks to his school. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/5f673a48100b8785d9da25f3ebbf213e_hd.jpg Travis opens the door to his apartment on the top floor.

The after school program was cancelled today, leaving Travis to call out of work. Feeling partially guilty, partially relieved he welcomes the change in schedule since he is considering quitting the job due to the hours and low pay. He hopes his freelance work producing videos for local artists and non-profits will keep him afloat. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/c78209b9a8c660823cb7ff22a6e33949_hd.jpg Diplomas and graduation photos hang on the wall of the Harris residence. Before leaving college Travis was pursuing Criminal Justice at the State University of New York, his last resort after his original major in Electronic Music and Media was terminated in 2009 after budget cuts gutted his academic program as well as the Tuition Assistance Program (TAP) he depended to cover the costs of school. The passing away of his grandmother and birth of his son added to the pressures he faced. No longer pursuing his interests, he left college to do the work he aimed to do. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/a74f3a653437aba3688ceb62de00dd91_hd.jpg Travis plays with his 5-year-old son. He became a young father at the age of 20 and supports his son through his freelance video production work, but it's not enough to pay all his bills. He hopes to afford a place of his own one day, but for now lives with his mother and sister. https://www.hellobunni.com/video-projects 2023-05-30 weekly 0.5 https://www.hellobunni.com/documentary-reel 2023-05-30 weekly 0.5 https://www.hellobunni.com/articles 2023-05-30 weekly 0.5 https://www.hellobunni.com/info 2023-05-30 weekly 0.5 https://www.hellobunni.com/instagram 2018-03-27 weekly 0.5 https://www.hellobunni.com/becoming-bunni 2018-03-27 weekly 0.5 https://www.hellobunni.com/page 2023-05-26 weekly 0.5
