Looking at America on the 4th

In honor of the fourth, I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about what it means to be American.

America is the land ofContinueContinue reading “Looking at America on the 4th”

Ubuntu: The Essence of Humanity

One of the most eye-opening moments in my life was when I was sitting in the audience of Marc Lamont Hill speaking on Martin Luther King Day. I initially didn’t know what to expect but he eventually let me stunned as he ended the speech about activism and the concept of Ubuntu. Ubuntu has becomeContinueContinue reading “Ubuntu: The Essence of Humanity”

Women in Politics

While I have been studying politics for nearly four years at this point, I am still a relative neophyte to the national players and inner-workings of Washington. Recently, I was asked, how do I feel about women in Politics? In short, I love women in Politics. The most obvious question in connection with women inContinueContinue reading “Women in Politics”
