Their approach was more abrasive compared to the actions of the past. In 2014, three African American women, Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi, created the Black Lives Matter movement (Black Lives Matter). The women formed the group after noticing a pattern of murderers of black people not being held accountable. Specifically, as a…

and had sex with me”. Sam was Brittany’s mother’s live-in boyfriend, Samuel H. Hansen (M/W, DOB: 12/03/1982). I asked Brittany who else was in the house during that time. She said her 7 years old brother, William, her cousin Tracy and her Aunt Alicia was across the street. The incident occurred in Sam’s bedroom. Brittany stated William and Tracy were going to give their small dog a bath, but their larger dog came into the bathroom and jumped in the water. Since the large dog got all wet,…

Introduction It is important for me, as a Social Worker to implement the best practice I can achieve for my clients. Social Workers may increase in empathy as we walk a mile through our client’s experiences. As I am coming close to graduating and joining this profession, some questions I struggle with come from my own personal experiences and insecurities such as; will I be able to compartmentalize my own counter-transferences, what are my fears, will I be good enough, will they like me, what…

Breast is best? There are not many options when it comes to feeding an infant. While there are a small few that feed the baby justly whatever they want, a majority of parents narrow it down to either formula feeding or breastfeeding. Unfortunately, if a mother chooses to breastfeed she is faced with more than just the struggles of the actual breastfeeding, she is also faced with the challenge of fighting the flack breastfeeding brings. Parents who choose to formula feed also face some…

and X-Factor. I would watch these people; young, old, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, gay, straight, and everything in between, try to do something I felt I could do, but was too shy to try. Then at age 11, I saw Anna Graceman belt out the infamous Alicia Keys song “If I Ain’t Got You.” She was my age, and better than any other person who sang. I finally said “I could do that” to my mother. I will never forget what my mother, the realist who notoriously has always brought me down from the clouds,…

Neither of them could truly understand each other’s behaviors and look into their minds. Alice tends to misunderstand them and sometimes even accidentally hurt them. It reminds me of The Beautiful Mind we watched in class, where John Nash’s wife Alicia has to force herself to become such a strong woman to support her husband. Yet, she is lucky that John Nash deeply cares for her. On the other hand, in the case of Alice, it is very different. At the end of the movie, Alice tries to redeem for…

In this scene, Norman, played by Logan Lerman, begins to read music and play the piano while Collier, played by Brad Pitt, is standing at the table.
