The Evolution of The Queen Bee
What’s Your Damage, Heather? The Queen Bee trope has had us in a chokehold since the 80s when Heathers burst onto our screens. Red Heather had full control over her high school, she was ambitious, powerful, and widely disliked, yet all the other girls in the school either wanted to be her or get close to her. But Heather Chandler’s presence is omniscient throughout the movie, writer Daniel Waters fails to give us any background aside from superficial details. We know she partied, ate corn nuts, and dated Peter Dawson. But we are not told about her home life, her upbringing, or her socioeconomic status. But whether it was the audience or the people in Hollywood, someone made some big assumptions.

The Stages of Emily Doe
Acknowledgments In order to tell this story properly, I must acknowledge those involved– All those who thread my pain together in the blanket that kept me hidden, to those who poked holes in the blanket’s thick wool to let the light hit my face. Some faces I still remember, and others will be burned in my hippocampus until my body meets the ground. It’s important to note that without those people who made me experience what hell feels like, I would not be who I am…but it is because of the people that made me see the possibility of heaven that I am still here.

Black Inside And (Not) Black Outside
I never knew the word black was banished until I left Haiti, a country where most black people wouldn’t dare to forget the story of black people on this island. The word “black” has such an importance there, that even the Haitian Creole word for black (nèg for men, and nègès for women) is also used for referring to people in general. I always knew that there are several words to describe black people, and I have been thinking about them since my childhood. Nevertheless, I supposed that these terms were just used for special contexts, and the word black itself was the most neutral way to illustrate the color of a black person. My confusion over black identity started when people would avoid referring to my color.
