I had the pleasure of seeing the play “Fabulation or the re-education of Undine,” twice. The play is an orginal work by Lynn Nottage and premiered in 2004 under the direction of Kate Whoriskey. Fabulation focuses around Undine, a woman in her late 30s, who is at the peak of […]

Don’t Ask Me about Your Relationship Issues
I pride myself on being a good friend. I spend long hours listening to false break-ups, go out on the town whenever a girl’s night is needed and allow access to my Facebook page for “clocking” statuses. One thing I cannot say is that I enjoy offering relationship advice. Every […]
Campus Fliers Need to Fly Away
Riddle me this: What’s everywhere you look but hardly read all over? Fliers. They litter our campus rain or shine and can often be seen stuck to car windows, in pathways and even classrooms. Fliers seem to be doing more harm on our campus than helping to promote the next […]
Presidential Candidates Need to Talk about Solutions
I am so over it. This year’s Grand Ole party presidential candidates are just working my nerves. And although I love President Barack Obama, he hasn’t convinced me either. It seems as if every candidate is interested in pleasing a political party and not doing what is best for this country. […]
Where’s Our School Spirit?
Let’s define school spirit. Oh yeah, We can’t. That’s because as a student body we have none. I’m not talking about the occasional “let’s get dressed up and go to homecoming” type. More like the “let’s make the opposing team shiver at the thought of attending any sporting event on […]
Oops, Where’s My Netcheck?
For about 36 hours, I was banking. Then that alternate reality only existent at FAMU kicked in. I received a phone call from my parents inquiring about a strange piece of mail with a FAMU letterhead. “Go ahead and open it,” I said, curious about what the letter could be […]
Weave: If You Paid for It, It’s Yours
It is seen on women of all ages. Different forms, styles and colors are readily available to customers. Beyoncé, athletes and even women at Florida A&M use it. Not to mention, have become a staple in the black community. What am I talking about? Hair weaves of course. All women want […]

No, I don’t ‘Talk White’
When I was younger, people used to tell me that I sounded white. Every time I heard someone say it I would roll my neck as I responded, “No I’m not, I’m speaking English.” Even as a child I knew that there was something wrong with that statement. Now that […]
‘P-I-N-K’ is for Breasts in October
Fall is almost here, and everywhere you look, you see red, orange, brown, gray, black and pink. Or at least you should see pink. Why pink? Because pink is the color for breast cancer awareness and October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. Believe it or not, some people don’t know […]
