This pass weekend was the 2020 BET Awards and the awards were virtual this year. Everyone was at home and were watching and tweeting about the show. Marsai Martin was a presenter and was announcing the show from her home. Grown black women on twitter commented on her blonde wig and speculated that she had veners instead of her real teeth. Marsai made two responses, one on Twitter and another on Instagram. Her clap back was classy and she made a point to highlight that we have more important things to be worried about in 2020.



She did not have to respond but she did because no one should have to endure such hate from grown adults. In a time where we should protecting and uplifting these black queens, we shouldn't be commenting on a 16 year old's hair and teeth. The black community has been guilt of imposing our own deep self hatred on themselves to other people. From black women's natural hair to toxic masculinity, black men and women act in a toxic manner about it. These women who have let the sexualization of young girls and the toxicity of judging people, not caring about what that person is going through, wrap their thinking are trying to put that onto this young woman.

This girl has accomplished so much before the age of sixteen than any of these women have. I commend her parents for raising her knowing to never let the words of people tear you down. I also commend Black Twitter for clapping back and dragging these women for bullying this young girl. Seeing people come to this girls defense shows that they see the problem we have in out own community and we need to do better. We need to protect our young ones from the self hatred people try to put on them.



We need to always uplift and protect our young black queens. They are our future and they need to know that we got them. Never let keyboard bullies make you think less of yourself. You are more than a tweet.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
