During my visitation this room/ gallery display was the most fullest of all. As I walk around each piece of art I realized this exhibition was one of the most popular…

The Kardashians and the Change of Beauty In 1751, British essayist David Home, wrote “Beauty is no quality in things themselves…; Each mind perceives a different beauty (Hume)”. In the last two hundred and sixty-six years, this concept of beauty has all but vanished.

Whether athletes or models, celebrities…

Lydia Maria Child, an American abolitionist, and women’s rights activist once said, “nature made us individuals, as she did the flowers and the pebbles; but we are afraid to be peculiar, and so our society resembles a bag of marbles, or a string of mold candles”. In other words, humans are naturally meant to be diverse and individual, but we’ve grown terrified of being ourselves no matter how different, because of society. Leonard Mead from the short story, “The Pedestrian” had made a wise…

individually were destined to be. Many of the most brilliant people of the world were non-conformists such as Harriet Tubman, an African-American abolitionist; Oscar Wilde, a mind blowing writer; Bell Hooks, a feminist, activist, and scholar; and Frida Kahlo, an extraordinary painter who defies classification.

Being a Massachusetts resident, I have always been taught that I am “too far north” for racism or sexism to affect…
