When we first started discussing Standing Rock, I began to reflect on what I had already learned regarding the subject. I recalled that the first time I had heard about #NODAPL was when actress Shailene Woodley live-streamed her arrest while she was in North Dakota protesting the pipeline alongside the indigenous people. This reminded me about our…[Read more]

For this week’s photo share, I wanted to reflect on how the #MeToo movement is not only specific to those in Hollywood, but it also applies to everyday people, especially college students. Sexual assault and harassment have become normalized on college campuses. A google document called “Sexual Harassment in the Academy” was created by Karen Kels…[Read more]

For this week’s photo share, I decided to discuss the relevance of sexual assault as a normalized or common experience for people in college. Last year in my DOC class, our professor talked about a crowdsourced survey that exposes sexual assault in academia. It’s a google doc where people can disclose their experiences with sexual harassment or…[Read more]

This week’s discussion on Black Lives Matter got me thinking of other movements that have sought to tackle issues of gun violence such as the “March For Our Lives Movement” following the Parkland shooting. It is important to recognize that grassroots movements such as BLM have shifted conversations of race and the role of protesting when it comes…[Read more]

For this week’s photo share, I decided to discuss The Che Cafe located on campus. This has been a highly contested space on campus. Administration has threatened to close it down but was met with student protests. The reason it is a “controversial” space on campus is because it acknowledges systems of oppression and seeks to challenge them by…[Read more]

For this week, I decided to focus on self proclaimed boy band Brockhampton. Although their music isn’t strictly one genre, a lot of their music is hip-hop. Rather than identifying as a rap collective, despite their discography being comprised of rap/ hip hop, they identify as a boyband as a way to challenge the idea of what it is that boybands…[Read more]

For this week’s photo share, I decided to focus on our discussion in class Friday when the question was posed – “What does it mean to be a good ally?” I think being a good ally consists of not trying to participate in a movement with the goal of being the “savior” or the leader of it when that person is not part of that community. Rather, one…[Read more]

This week, I chose this photo off of ebony.com’s article titled”Black Panthers 50 Years Later: What They Wanted Is What We (Still) Need” of a Black Panther Party member interacting with the police because I thought it related directly to Malcolm X’s advocacy for self defense. The Black Panther Party (BPP), whose original name was Black Panther…[Read more]

<span style=”font-weight: 400;”>This image is a still from Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” music video. I chose this image of children dancing on top of a cop car somewhere in Oakland because it speaks to the demonization of black children and how they are very susceptible to police violence. In the lyrics of this song and the visuals from this video…[Read more]
