Part of the #HERvotes blog carnival. The recession negatively impacts young people looking to enter the workforce for the first time, and as a recent college graduate, I can easily see how the recession is impacting my peers and me.

New Abortion Billboard in Atlanta Targets African American Leaders

Published: August 22, 2011

Not again. Another anti-abortion billboard was put on display by the Restoration Project in Atlanta last week, this time targeting African American leader Jesse Jackson. The billboard reads “What does it mean to be betrayed?” with “betrayed” written in blood-scripted letters.

School for Young Mothers is Disposable for Detroit

Published: June 10, 2011

Yesterday morning I wrote a story for our daily Feminist News site about the closing of Catherine Ferguson Academy. It turned out to be difficult for me to keep my language neutral in any way or maintain journalistic integrity; hence I must now blog about it because I’m pissed off. I originally heard about this […]

Women’s Studies is Not “Easy”

Published: June 7, 2010

Some things really tick me off. Any time I hear the phrase “no homo” I experience a semi-blinding fury. Overtly sexist TV commercials (thank you Super Bowl) provide me with endless anger issues. Spiders both terrify and anger me. But one thing that will always send me into a (righteous) fury – people who major […]
