SHONDA RHIMES
To me, Shonda Rhimes is everything that I want to be and more. The first time I watched her TED talk, God I was so amazed and enthralled by her words, her confidence, the sound of her voice, and the power in her voice. "What a woman!" I shouted. Everything about that TED talk was so captivating that I rewatched it again and again. I facetimed my friend Sandra(I made her watch the youtube video) and we had a 2 hour coversation about how inspiring she is. It was the first time I got to know this woman, the brain behind "How to Get Away with Murder", "Grey's Anatomy", "Scandal and Bridgerton".

Black In Business: K.S.I.
The popular, praised and often controversial social media monopoly known as YouTube, has become a platform for a variety of creators to share aspects of their life that they are passionate about. Regarding the content creators and their respective audiences, I have always been an advocate for gaming, music and social commentary on political, social and economic issues on a global scale. While I found myself looking for those individual genres in various youtubers, there has been one creator that has those attributes and many more, all in one channel and fanbase. His name is William Olajide Olayinka Olatunji, also known as KSI, an acronym for 'Knowledge', 'Strength' and 'Integrity'.

Is This Anything?
The extent to which I have experienced any racism directed to me is when people look at my hair and say, “You have black people’s hair.” For some reason, it annoys me that people feel the need to quantify anything that way. As if we are only what people can see, not that we are simply other souls just trying to enjoy our lives. My hair is two parts frizz and one part curl, however, it’s very textured and therefore it would be safe to assume that I may have a relation to someone in my ancestry that is black. I want to make it very clear, it doesn’t bother me that people might think I have some ancestry that is black. I am disappointed that people feel the need to point that out to me, and then touch my hair without asking. Or try and put pencils or pens in it without me noticing, or the million other reactions and comments I get just because my hair is a very defining characteristic. Instead, keep your hands to yourself and maybe mind your business. This is the only extent to which I can claim any type of understanding of racism and how it affects people. Enter, Chappelle’s Show.
