Blankets- a telling story

Growing up in today society, let alone any society we face tons of issues- whether thats with race, economic standing, faith, sexual experiences and so much more. The book Blankets really helped capture  a first hand story of going through these struggles. The author Craig Thompson did a stunning job explaining and capturing this experience. As I was first assigned to read a graphic novel I was just floored- how are we college students reading a comic book is what I thought. However I was just shocked and moved by the story and each and every line.

College-Fried Chicken






(Final Product)

    As college students, we are pretty adaptive. When you think about it, we’ve had to shift a lot of our habits that we used to have now that we don't have the luxuries of home. One of those luxuries, is a home-cooked meal.

Soulful Night 




The 22nd Annual Soul Food Dinner took place February 22nd here on the campus of UWSP. As a member of BSU, the Black Student Union on campus and a sister of Sigma Delta Rho sorority I was required to not just attend the event but to help cook for over 500 indivduals. It turned out to be such an enjoyable night.

"If You're Reading This It's Too Late" -Clarissa



(Cash Money/Young Money Records)

        Rappers and the rap industry go through phase of "hot" and "popular" to "dead an gone". I was shocked to read that despite the fate of failure for many rap industry dynasties Cash Money/Young Money Records had escaped that faith. I religiously listen to artist part of the Cash Money/Young Money Records and was shocked to hear that the label is said to be splitting.
