Walk It Out

The nerves are racing inside of each and every one of us. The music is blasting in the background, but to us, seems to be drowned into a whisper by our beating hearts. It is time.

The show is about to begin and all of the models for the Hip Hop category are dressed and in line to start the show. The other groups are cheering us on, and shouting things like “break a leg” and “you’ll do great” in attempt to decrease the pressure and calm our nerves. It is 8 o’clock and we are taking the runway!

Check out a slide show from the show 🙂

and one from the Daily Iowan

 

Dear Joslyn: Black Student Union

Here is Black Student Union’s webpage, unfortunately, it is a little outdated. I will be sure to talk to the executive board about the certain need for an update. On the other hand, it does include general information and it surely can assist you and your mother’s understanding on what BSU is all about.

Here is Black Student Union’s (BSU) Facebook Group.

The next listed website, is one that I highly encourage you to check out. It is up-to-date and includes resources on BSU, diversity scholarships and programs that can potentially be of benefit to you.

Lastly, I would really take a look at the Iowa Edge Program. Participating in this program ensures a successful transition into college life. I participated in it last year, and I will be a Leader in the program this summer (because I loved it so much!) It’s not time for applications yet but I am sure in the next month or two it will be time.

Slavery is theft –theft of a life, theft of work, theft of any property or produce, theft even of the children a slave might have borne.
