“ugly” is defined as someone or something that is unpleasant and repulsive. For a black girl‚ the connotation of the word transforms from unpleasant to unworthy; repulsive thus becomes invisible. “Ugly” was initially written as a way for me to be in conversation with the Webster Dictionary word.

After ten months of working on this collection‚ I found myself in deeper thought

Goonies was one of his favorite childhood movies. After all the research I did and questions I asked I can say without a doubt that this movie is the greatest movie I have ever seen.

I went to the movie theater the other day. I saw Will Smith’s new movie‚ Concussion. I saw it at the AMC in Rosedale. I wasn’t even planning on seeing it because I had work but I was 3 hours late so I was like what’s the point. I went to the theater and had to decide what to watch. It was between Concussion and Star Wars for me. I chose Concussion because it was shorter and I’ve never seen Star Wars before so I wouldn’t understand what was going on.

When this movie started‚ I automatically rolled my eyes thinking of over dramatic vegetarian PETA advocates and animal lovers. I never understood the concept of not eating something and cutting out a whole food group just because people refuse to accept the cycle of life.
