Late one night in her Maryland home, Sarina got a message from her producer Cherry Beatz to start working on another song. With little direction, she laid down a few vocals on top of a beat and sent it back to him as a joke, not knowing that he would love it and it would soon grow to be her single ‘Kiwi’....

It was damp and cold, but I was so thrilled to leave my house that I didn't care. I ended up at this bridge overlooking the highway.

words and edits by Natalie Chuck TW: racially-motivated violence, racism, misogyny The month before quarantine was imposed in Toronto, I was suddenly the subject of glares from strangers who I am certain would usually have paid me no mind. They would physically cringe or cover their mouths and noses whenever I, or an Asian friend, would so much as clear our throats in public....

By Hediye Usta Turkey is one of the top countries when it comes to femicides. In fact, discrimination and violence against women, including femicides, have risen drastically. The Turkish government has abandoned the Istanbul Convention, which was designed to protect women from male violence. We do not accept this decision, and we want the Istanbul Convention and law no 6284 to be effectively implemented....

I was twelve when I learned the word “endometriosis." I could hardly pronounce it, let alone understand the pain that comes with such a heavy, suffocating diagnosis. Endometriosis is described as when "the tissue similar to the lining inside the uterus (called the endometrium), is found outside the uterus, where it induces a chronic inflammatory reaction that may result in scar tissue,” according to the…...

welcome to trick's film discussion of black panthers!

we're so excited to hear your thoughts on this film, and we hope you enjoyed the screening.

here's a list of questions that we've come up with that can help launch us into a discussion, feel free to answer any of them. we'd also love if you simply shared your thoughts on the film. whatever you're comfortable with! :-)

1. Why do you think the BPP was such a revolutionary movement?

2. Do you agree with the idea of ‘gun control’? Who is gun control protecting if it's disarming communities and arming the state?

3. What are your thoughts on the idea of taking up arms as a necessary action to counter oppressive institutions?

4. Why do you think the state/media vilifies revolutionary movements like the Black Panther Party?

5. The Black women in the film were speaking about their journey toward embracing their natural hair, and how when they began to accept their non-eurocentric features as beautiful, others began to aswell. They mentioned how white women started wanting to wear their hair like that too. Why is it necessary for us to be aware of the history of cultural appropriation?
