By: Juliyana Straley Twitter: @jstraley7 Email: straleyj@findlay.edu We will not be silenced. We will not give up until women everywhere get exactly what they deserve: respect, equality, and appreciation. To me, the Women’s March is a misunderstood mission; it’s more than “pussy” hats and walking around without a bra on, it’s about equality for all. […]

By: Alexis Mitchell Twitter: @alexismitch14 Email: mitchella2@findlay.edu Citizen journalism has caused a lot of confusion about what is credible and reliable news.

By: Leah Palm Twitter: @_palmegranate Email: Palml@findlay.edu With the start of any semester comes a couple of things that college students have learned to expect.

By: Juliyana Straley Twitter: @jstraley7 Email: straleyj@findlay.edu The past few months, social media has been littered with Feminist movements and protests.

By: Alexis Mitchell Email – mitchella2@findlay.edu Twitter – @alexismitch14 I don’t think when Tarana Burke started the “#MeToo” trend that she realized just how far it would spread. “Me Too” was intended to help women who have been sexually assaulted not feel alone, but feel more empowered by coming together on social media. Although many […]
