It started out as just a lemonade stand. I never saw that this world was cruel and hateful. Just standing as the sideline, without knowing of what I could do. I can live or my love can leave this world. What brought me here? This world we just need money. For food, for water, for furniture, for everything. Sometimes I just wish to own it all, everything. I live in a two room apartment with my father. Living in constant fear of being homeless. While those get, we have to savage and earn our way…
the community or starting a foundation people can make a difference. Many people think kids are just in the way and don’t ever actually make a difference in their community. Blare Gooch started with a teddy bear, Alex Scott started with a cup of lemonade, and Zach Hunter started with a few pennies around his house. The smallest things can turn into a life changing difference. Blare Gooch was twelve years old when he came up with the idea to gather teddy bears and send them to the kids in…
Jambalaya: Lemonade Beyoncé’s visual album Lemonade goes beyond the supposed emotional turmoil of her marriage with Jay-z. Throughout the album and film, Beyoncé touches on subjects of social injustices and black culture while also incorporating various genres and other successful celebrities. Through Beyoncé’s visual album “Lemonade”, Beyoncé does what any Beyoncé fan (or observer) would expect her to do, she performs greatly to her equally as great music. But not only is “Lemonade” a musical…
by Beyoncé in her visual album Lemonade, showcased a person broken by social norms and marital issues. For my derivative project, I decided to compose an original song based around the central themes of the visual album. The main theme of the lyrics portrays a society that is corrupt from the perspective of an African American struggling in the means of America. Each verse contains a different concept based around the woes in society that Beyoncé speaks on in Lemonade. Beyoncé showcased the…

Lemonade inspires me to create music that makes people think critically. Not only is it my career goal, it's my life's passion: making music that can change the world through the spirit of the sound. I feel that Lemonade’s purpose is to empower, to demonstrate the resilience of women of color, and to wage a war against inequality. That message is what inspires me to learn how to raise a sword against injustice, fighting against the adversity that I have faced as a Mexican-American woman,…
An inconspicuous house sits on West Buffalo Street. On the very same street lies a public elementary school and cherished public park. No one would ever assume that a house nestled in between these two monuments of public safety could be the site of one of the most horrific crimes in Ithaca. One has to wonder what has led our city to begin the descent into madness. If neighborhoods with such amenities as beautiful public parks and community centers could be filled with crime, what else could be…
If you ran a lemonade stand in the desert and one day a bus broke down in front of it, and you were the only place to get a drink for miles, it would quickly be called the Lemonade Bubble. As the amount of lemonade available dwindled for the thirsty customers waiting in line, some people would quickly began offering more money for the same glass. The seller would quickly raise the price and as soon as a replacement bus arrived the bubble would burst. If everyone on the bus only had five dollars…
agents of social change. Though I pondered several possibilities of a world for, about, and by Black women, I could never have conjured a vision as beautiful as "Lemonade." Beyoncé's answer to Collin's question is a 58-minute visual masterpiece that journeys through the singer's stages of ascension into a divine Black womanhood. "Lemonade" is very much a womanist manifesto. Womanism, a term coined by "The Color Purple" author Alice Walker, is a framework that encourages Black women to love and…
Sometimes trips can be fun and carefree. Some trips can be hectic and frustrating. The trip I took was both. Surprising,right? I know, but as some people say when life gives you lemons make lemonade. Lets just say life gave me lemons, I made the lemonade, then life knocked the lemonade out of my hand, and made a whole new batch for me.This trip started as a fun ordinary trip. The date of the trip was October 3rd 2015. The sky was cloudy not a sun in sight. The wind was breezing across the trees…
