Not just this ad, lately Sprite has been targeting their black demographic with most of their ads being focused around one race. Talented people that have appeared in Sprite ads are Drake, LeBron, and even Vince, (Coca-Cola North America). One thing that confused me is that “why didn’t they go with Drake instead of Missy Elliot?” Then I realized that this ad was made in 2016 and if they didn’t have at least one female they might have gotten called out for being sexist…

The advertising industry knew that they could not just sell products to people, especially in this economic downturn; they had to…
Nana’s Touch On the evening of June 17, 2013, my mother spoke three words that forever changed my life. She said “Madison, she’s gone,” and my stomach dropped twelve feet below the surface and my whole world turned inside out and upside down. My Nana was the first real loss in my life. My family and I would visit room 107 to see her beautiful glowing face every week.
