On October 4, 1904, Mary Jane McLeod Bethune launched the Daytona Normal and Industrial Institute for Negro Girls with five students in a four-room cottage that she rented for eleven dollars per month. It was the first grade school for black children in the community. Bethune’s school was near the train tracks and the parents paid fifty cents per week for tuition. She showed her students crafts and homemaking, so that they could “earn a good living when they were grown” (Pinkney 45). Mary utilized pieces of burnt wood for chalk. She created pen ink from elderberry juice. Packing crates were used for desks. The students who lived at the school slept on corn sacks that Bethune filled with Spanish moss. To assist Bethune, some of the townspeople

Everyday, I go into the studio and hear a generous hello from a staff member. If the vibrant dance bags, and leather jet black couches do not make you feel at home, then the dancers will. Mallory Flores is an intern and dancer of 15 years at Encore Studio, and thinks Encore’s sense of community is what makes everyone feel at home whenever they step onto the dance floor. Not only does the sense of community keep the dancers going, but it keeps the business running, as Karen Flores stated she loves how “the people she sees come in and out of the studio have a constant positive energy radiating off of them”. Yet, being at the studio for up to fourteen hours a week for some dancers does not keep them from coming in and enjoying the curriculum taught in class. Not only does it drive the dancers to come to class, but it keeps the teachers motivated to continue to put out their best work too. Angelina Gallo thinks that “The dancers at Encore are so passionate, they are kind, they are genuinely good people… I think a lot of this stems from the dance training and the people that they are surrounded by on a daily basis. The students are my family.” which shows why everyone feels the constant state of security within the

Upon sitting down with Maddie for the first time, I initially asked her the infamous ice breaker, the dreaded and somewhat daunting question of: if you could describe yourself in three words what would they be? She, without hesitation, detailed herself as “creative, outgoing, and bold.” After only a short conversation with her, it was clear that these three seemingly simple adjectives truly do capture the complex personality, achievements, and life goals of Maddie Jackson.

There are many people in my life that I can say that I admire as leaders. From my mom who has shown me courage, to my father who works so hard to provide for my family, to even my brother. But out of all these people, the one person who has inspired me to go above and beyond myself is Josephine Bahkita. Josephine is an exemplary leader to me not only because of her unwavering faith, but her compassion towards people, the way she could forgive easily, and the way she helped others even though many people had not shown her the same kindness and respect. Josephine Bahkita embodies what leadership is because she knows humility at the hands of others and yet she would thank those who kidnapped her because she believed that without those people she

My name is Diana Waara, I am a photographer from Flint, Mi. I am a current photography student studying at the Art Institute of Michigan. Photography was a passion that I developed at an early age, I spent a small fortune on disposable cameras shooting whatever I could and wherever I could.

Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani was seventeen when she fell in love with a doctor who soon after, left for America for his residency. The man turned out to be a man of the Yoruba tribe, a tribe the Igbo people saw as wicked. The disrespect towards the Yoruba goes back to the Nigerian Civil War times, where once the war was over, the finance minister, a Yoruba, gave each Igbo only 20 Euros. An amount that was not even comparable to how much was in their accounts. Later, Nwaubani applied to the University of Ibadan, which was in Torba territory. Her father continued to insist that the Yoruba were wicked. It turned out her father was right. The University of Ibadan was the headquarters of impromptu civil unrest. Nwaubani now looks back on her experience
