And Then His Car Wouldn't Start
#MyWorstDate Story As a media major, I should probably be a bit more concerned with defamation but he was trash and so was the date so sue me. Okay don't, but I believe this story will bring to light how most men have little to no self-awareness.

Why Your Black Business "Won't Survive"
Context As I write this piece, I reflect on what brought me to the south. I lived a privileged life in California, situated in the mecca of diversity, the San Francisco Bay Area. And we can say I still live that privileged life, seeing as I can go back anytime that I want to. I was well aware of the evils of poverty and de facto segregation that lends itself to the narrative “separate but never equal.” I knew the history of internment camps in the peninsula and race riots and the establishment of the Black Panthers in the east bay. Growing up we learned about the racist Jim Crow like laws forced upon the Chinese, and we learned about the Chicano movements of Southern California. I was surrounded by whites, Asians, Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, few blacks, and an increasing population of Middle Easterners. And I got to be at the center of the Pride movement every single year. And I grew up with the notion that the south was evil, racist, and not somewhere I wanted to go.

Marketing Abroad Travels to African Americans
There are a number of companies who are narrowing in on changing the experiences of young Americans of color. Now more than ever, American students are going abroad for education. Even TV, film, and social media are reinforcing traveling for leisure being a part of the young American experience. And as studies have shown, going abroad builds confidence, promotes cultural sensitivity, and provides a competitive edge in the age of rapid globalization. Just like those other companies hopping on the equal access bandwagon, it's time for travel companies to consider following suit.

Artificial Intelligence the Threat of Exposure
To put it simply, at its core functionality, artificial intelligence (AI) uses pattern recognition software to simulate natural intelligence (NI). When combined with a database of trial and error already performed by humans, AIs are able to come to the best possible conclusion with the best possible outcome without furthering any error.
