Sushi: That’s How I Roll
For students at Florida A&M, the thought of eating sushi either draws a smile of familiar delight or a look of pained disgust. There’s no in-between, according to students that The Famuan talked to. “Ewwww, I would never eat sushi, not even on my death bed,” says sophomore Aaliyah Holiday. […]
