AVID Mission Statement My childhood was spent with four women. They constructed a space for me that was void of the manacles of racial standards, an expanse free for me to roam and wallow freely in its immaculate glory. As i endeavored to America, this space shrunk further and further until it had transformed into a cramped chamber. For the first time, I had to grapple with what it meant to be black, to have your skin’s pigment be brimmed with melanin. The concept of race was vehemently…

Although many people try to avoid them, discrimination and prejudice are commonly known issues. In the photograph by the Southampton Anti-Bias Task Force, five crayons are placed vertically next to each other and each of them are named “flesh.” It is evident that each crayon is a different shade even though they all have the same name on the paper wrappers. This image uses many different key elements including creators, viewers, purpose, medium, and design to portray that all humans are the…

If you say that equal opportunity doesn't lead to equal outcomes, then they can disqualify you…

Introduction Gender inequality in the workplace has continued to be a contentious issue. Increased government policies in the US and across the globe aiming at increasing transparency around pay and calling out for more women in the company boardrooms are in play. Gender discrimination was highlighted in a series of high-profile lawsuits. Data from a 1998 census revealed that women made 73 cents per dollar paid to men; this has been the case until today where there is a great discrepancy in…

Over the time thousands of bloody wars fought for the sakes of land, money, and goods. Debatably, the most brutal wars have been fought for something much less materialistic: equality. Although most American citizens are lucky enough to live in a country striving toward equality more than ever before, equal opportunity is still far from being something felt by all. In modern America, people claim that women in the workforce are the ones who are stuck suffering from inside the confines of…
