• black lives matter protest signs

    I've attended 3 Black Lives Matter Protests. Here's Why You Should, Too.

    “As we have seen, protests have made city councils, local politicians, local police departments, and (the) state and federal government(s) take notice. The court of public opinion is one of the strongest tools, we as a society have because people want to stay in office to keep making their money and further their career, so if you threaten them with taking away that seat, and calling them out thanks to protests, you’ll see results. You can’t do that, if (you're) only trending on Twitter, you have to be about the action and be out in the streets like during the civil rights movement, peaceful or non-peaceful depending on the case. Protests are the lifeblood of any movement, hence it's why it's one of our rights as a people.”

The six-episode series mostly focuses on the intricacies and intensities of Mae’s career, love life, and sobriety. It is funny, dramatic, and quirky in a slightly dark way.

    Pandemic and Panic: How it Felt to Move Back Home in the Face of a Global Health Crisis

    On March 11, 2020, my school announced that they were taking preventative measures against the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) by moving classes online and shutting down campus for the rest of the semester. This meant that all students had to leave their dorms, their friends, and a school they loved behind. There wouldn’t be any more hockey games with friends, parties, field trips, or club meetings until the fall of 2020. As a result, a lot of students, myself included, had to put their entire lives on hold and head back to their hometowns.
