Don’t die tonight
Though he makes some larger-than-life statements, I think young, passionate voices like that of Vince Staples bring an edgy and necessary slice of commentary to the discussion of prejudiced institutions at home. His words don’t cover all the details, so don’t watch this thinking they do. (aka how you should watch the news) Instead, take this… Continue reading
A Tribute to Grandpa Irv
No, these girls are not Grandpa Irv. A few months before my grandfather passed away, I went on a trip to Italy with my grandmother, uncle, and cousin. My grandfather begged me to take pictures of the beautiful Italian women for him so he had something to enjoy while… More A Tribute to Grandpa Irv Continue reading
Race-ism
Racism: A term that’s proper definition has been up for debate between scholars of sociology, politics, history, and a number of other research disciplines since its traditional definition was thrown out in the kindling of heat of the pre-civil rights era. Acclaimed sociologist and expert on race, Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, author of Racism Without Racists (a book I read freshman… Continue reading
Spaghetti with Meatballs
Ciao a Tutti, today’s post we’ll be more than simply interesting because I chose to finally talk about Spaghetti with Meatballs, the most not-Italian, iconic, stereotyped, and famous Italian-American dish. My first experience with it was when I was very little, I was watching a beautiful Disney movie, called The Lady and The Tramp, and … Continue reading Spaghetti with Meatballs Continue reading
Italian vs Italian-American
Ciao a Tutti! In my previous posts I talked about my personal point of view on Italian vs (Italian-)American cuisine, but I thought that interviewing a person with more expertise would be better! That’s why I decided to talk and interview one of the Italian Professor’s here at Dickinson College. Prof. Luca Trazzi “specialized in … Continue reading Italian vs Italian-American Continue reading
“Now All the Ladies in the Place…”
Perhaps only politicians could give hip-hop a run for its money when it comes to degrading rhetoric about women. At least politicians experience some sort of pushback. Hip-hop, it seems, is impervious to the sporadic attempts to address issues of sexism; a war of words is hard to win against the genre that invented the … Continue reading “Now All the Ladies in the Place…” Continue reading

Man vs. Grandma
For this post I created a movie spoof paralleling “Man vs Wild”. The idea was that spending a few nights at my grandmother’s house was similar to a few nights out in the wild. It was an enormous amount of fun to make, and my grandmother loved being the center of attention. You will notice… More Man vs. Grandma Continue reading
Interview with the Cousins
Over the course of this blog, I have realized my posts have been less about my grandparents and more importantly about family. I have been privileged enough to be born into a wonderful and loving family that enjoy coming together over the absurdity of my grandparents. My parents, brother, uncles, aunts, and cousins have regularly… More Interview with the Cousins Continue reading
MY MENTOR
I asked my aunt to write whatever she wanted about me, our relationship and our shared passion: teaching English. She sent me an e-mail last Sunday with ‘a contribution’ for my blog. This contribution makes me really happy since she has been a crucial person in my development as a professional. Silvia, my mother’s sister, is… Continue reading MY MENTOR Continue reading
Change for the best…
The practice after critique can bring many changes. This year it did just that. After taking what we heard from the judges into consideration our coach decided to make a couple changes to the program. Most of these changes included… Continue Reading → Continue reading
