I have always done my best to be a good person. I work hard, I fight for the things I believe in and I try to always see the positive in situations. I consider myself to be flexible and considerate of others, but, most of all, passionate in every venture […]

Final spring break must be special
The Netflix and chill season is almost over. That means Valentine’s Day and Christmas, those holidays where people get engaged, are past. So, of course, spring is coming, and I am so ready for it. Though last weekend was a nice reprieve, I want a permanent taste of some warm […]
‘Lion’ evokes African spirit
I am not a huge fan of musicals, but I made an exception for “The Lion King” at Detroit Opera House. The Disney film compares nothing to the wonderful stage production. It was like the audience got to experience Africa in Detroit. There were spiritual aspects to the show that […]
Berkeley protests show we’ve stopped listening
Recent events on the campus of UC Berkeley have shown us that free speech is a thing of the past and no longer relevant. There is no doubt that this election has sparked strong emotions on both sides. Like most elections, it was not pretty. It will never be a […]
Disappointed, but not rooting for Trump’s failture
Friday marked the inauguration of the 45th president of the United States. Donald Trump is now our president, and I’ve never felt more disappointed in my country. Already, Trump has plans to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which is going to change the lives of many people, young and old. […]

Regrets rise in senior year
What is one thing you regret not doing in college? I have more than one, of course, but I’m asking because it’s my senior year and time is dwindling faster than I can count. This time next year, I’ll be working somewhere. I won’t even be a student anymore. It’s […]
Enthusiasm of Alexander, Scott is contagious
The men’s and women’s basketball teams are cornerstones at the University of Detroit Mercy. I was able to sit down with men’s coach Bacari Alexander and women’s coach Bernard Scott, and I would be doing you a disservice if I told you they both weren’t very impressive. They have this […]
Graduation makes 2017 a big year
2017 will be a big year for me, and it’s just around the corner. With finals next week and Christmas soon after, 2017 will be here in a jiff. 2017 will be a year of major changes, as I’ll be graduating, which still hasn’t really hit me. My younger […]
From death of Prince to rise of Trump, it’s time for 2016 to go away
Who else is with me when I say I’m so ready for 2017? I can’t wait until Christmas but I’ll be much happier on New Years Eve. This year was just a bust and I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re all over it. From Prince’s death […]
