Sojourner ran away from slavery before the Emancipation act was published, and decided to change her name to Sojourner Truth. This name bares great meaning, because she intended on telling
Sojourner Truth Sojourner Truth was born a slave named Isabella Baumfree sometime in 1797 in Ulster county, New York.

Sojourner Truth and Women Suffrage “Who was Sojourner Truth?” Isabella Baumfree also considered Van Wagenen was born in 1797 and died in 1883.

Designing a New Magazine Aimed at Teenage Boys I was briefed to design a new magazine aimed at teenage boys, as they are a notoriously hard group to target. They have a disposable income and so are very appealing to advertisers combine this with the fact that they are a seemingly impossible group to widely reach to they are a golden fleece to advertisers.
