PAS V: “Shatter Me” Breaks Old Racial Norms

Another recommendation from Goodreads and Instagram, except this one is working out (so far)! I was skeptical because everyone who talks about the series is a die-hard fan of it, so I took the recommendation with a grain of salt…. Continue Reading →

CI V: Systemic Racism

Systemic racism is discrimination against certain racial minorities built into the foundation of systems for opportunities and growth. Systemic racism is largely prevalent and impactful in institutional and societal systems such as voting procedures and housing options that limit the… Continue Reading →

RCL V: Learn WHY Everyone is Different

https://people.com/style/supermodel-kristen-mcmenamy-falls-on-valentino-runway-throws-off-her-shoes/ I chose to discuss the recent runway fall of Kristen McMenamy and the several sides of support and distaste for herself and Valentino.  The site linked above addresses the comments of the original Twitter post and thread that I… Continue Reading →

CI III: Interminority Racism
