Africa’s Trajectory Of Becoming A Global Music Giant Should Have Been Seen A Mile Away

Africa’s Trajectory Of Becoming A Global Music Giant Should Have Been Seen A Mile Away

Many countries have had a fair share of artists dominating the music industry; that said, countries within Africa have had a hard time entering the limelight. That isn’t to say African artists haven’t had any influence within the music industry. As a matter of fact, African musical influences can be found in various music genres […]

Women’s Final Four Set

Talk about consistency. Not just one, or two—but all of the top-seeded teams from each region advanced to this year’s final four—and what’s even more remarkable is that they’re the exact same four teams from last year’s final four. UConn, South Carolina, UCLA, and Texas have dominated the field in this year’s NCAA Tournament. With […]

Kids’ Conversion Therapy Still Legal in Colorado

We talk about LBGTQ+ rights all the time, but things begin to get a little murky as we cross over from adults to children. Queerness is generally a taboo subject, even in adulthood—-but for kids, LGBTQ+ topics and narratives are almost always deemed far too inappropriate to be discussed. While children typically begin to learn […]

A Long Island grandmother is now left mourning the loss of her fiance, 61-year-old Joseph Falvo, after her 18-year-old grandson Noel Bermudez-Chin unleashed a fierce attack on him.

Mediterranean Diets For The Win!

It’s imperative that we start taking a good look at the types of food we’re consuming—and I say that confidently, even at the age of 23.

When we think of classic American literature, our brains often go back in time and explore the libraries of literature wonderful authors have produced. Many of these classics we know and love, such as The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald or Moby Dick by Herman Melville were produced over a hundred years ago, but […]

No Kings, No Trump

For almost a year now, individuals across the nation have joined together to protest the current presidential administration and its actions. We have seen rallies in the street of people fighting to make change within our country and alter the trajectory of America’s future. Named the “No Kings Movement,” these protests exist in several cities […]

Kid Cudi is Far Too Underrated

Is it just me, or is everyone waiting for their invitation to Honolulu just to—according to Kid Cudi, get that Maui Wowie? To be honest, I had no idea what that meant at first, but after tying together some context clues and common sense, I think I can confidently say that I know exactly what […]

Why Is Moana Getting a Remake?

Disney is no stranger to recreating and reimagining their original and classic works for modern-day audiences.  Taking such classics like “Cinderella” (1950), “The Jungle Book” (1967), and “101 Dalmatians” (1961), Disney has recently been on a progressive trend of remaking their old movies in an attempt to capture the hearts, love, and, of course, money […]
