Pride and Black Music: Honoring Black LGBTQ+ Music Artists

​
The month of June represents a month commemorating both the LBGTQ+ community and honoring Black music. Both of these communities are so influential within our society and have impacted our entire culture, trends, fashion, technology, and so much more. On their own, these groups are powerful, but when they have intersected, we have gotten some of the most dominant and untouchable historical acts. Check our highlighted musicians below:

Tony Jackson (he/him)
Jelly Roll Morton, the legendary jazz pianist, best known for influencing the formation of modern-day jazz during the 1920s, had to learn from someone, right?

A (Very) Brief History of Radio

Much like any great feat that we learn about in history class, the history of radio also involves tons of drama, competition, and lies. In honor of National Radio Day, let’s take a look at how radio has transformed from a singular letter being broadcasted across a pond to the communication waves transmitted right from our hands.
The first steps into developing the modern radio started out as merely a theory. Way back in 1820, Hans Christian Oersted, a Danish physicist, was the first to proclaim that a magnetic field can be created around a wire that has a current running through it. This was the first scientific connection ever found between electricity and magnetism (which is, like, really important.) This great proclamation was tested in 1830 by English physicist Michael Faraday and was able to confirm Oersted’s theory. He then established the principle of electromagnetic induction.

What does self care mean?

​
Overstimulated. A word that can be synonymous with anything that has happened in the past two years. We’ve been accustomed to hopping on Zoom calls in our pajamas, mindlessly snacking, and scrolling past one depressing news article after another. As we start to integrate back into our ‘usual’ routines, something that we’re going to have to discuss is workplace functionality. It’s been hard on everyone, certain industries more than others of course, but I think something we all have in common is trying to navigate our way into a new kind of workspace. Before we immediately focus on our workplace personas, the most crucial thing we have to heal is ourselves. This doesn’t mean splurging and spending hundreds on new skincare products or randomly turning your phone off and going MIA, self-care must be practiced every single day and truly is not just focused on the self.

Newsletter Creation
At my position at the Career Center, I was in charge of monthly internal newsletters that featured coworkers, events on campus and good news.
During my time as a White Mystery intern I created various newsletters on a more randomized basis featuring Spotify playlists, merch and any promotion for the band and was sent to an audience of 10,000+ people.
