A Humble, Imploring Prayer

Posted on April 5, 2021April 5, 2021 by Brittany Wilson

Stories of Mississippi: Uncovering New Bones

Posted on March 23, 2021March 24, 2021 by Brittany Wilson

Mississippi tends to be a black and white world when it comes to race. We usually talk about race relations between Black and White people, disregarding the many Asian communities present in Mississippi. Although Asians in Mississippi make up just 1.1% of the population, their stories are necessary to both the history and present of Mississippi.  I interviewed members of the Millsaps community, including Dr. Monika Rawal, Kamaljyot Bhalla, Rohinton Dossabhoy, and Sree Vedala. Their responses were eye-opening; and a few…

If I’m Black and Nothing Else

Posted on August 3, 2020August 7, 2020 by Brittany Wilson

High school is often a “use it or lose it” period. Whether that’s using one’s voice for social reform or keeping one’s art skills intact or practicing those countless math problems, high school can make or break anyone.
