If I’m Pretty, I’m Pretty

Meita  believes that no matter what color you are, if you’re pretty you’re pretty. Nobody should tell you different. She is a pretty dark skin , more on the skinny side of things, Meita Fofana doesn't agree with society’s views on what's “pretty” as in being a fair complexion and “Thick”. Though many focus on having the “perfect body”, she thinks everyone is unique. She believes that  in this society “being dark and having bumps is terrible.” That doesn't stop her from knowing that she is beautiful and perfect the way she is.She was always an advocate for herself and without a doubt the best dressed. 

A strong minded and independent young lady, Meita was born into a family of four, with two older brothers and a younger sister. Coming from Newark, New Jersey, Meita was always bright and top of her class. She enjoys putting  a smile on everyone’s faces with her outgoing personality.  She loves the company of and loves meeting new people. She sees herself as “a creative and ... a visual thinker.” One thing that I know about Meita is that she loves fashion. Meita was part of a program called NJ SEEDS. This program helps bright students with the process of applying to private high school. 

Even though she was never bullied about her body or skin tone, she still believes that dark skinned people are undervalued. The funny part is that the people who discriminate against Black women are from the same race. I asked her, “Do you still see yourself as pretty even though you're dark?” With a quick comeback she said, “To me a color doesn't matter, I can be orange for all I care… if I’m pretty, I’m pretty. A color doesn't define your prettiness.”Furthermore,  One song that was mentioned was “Melanin” by Secrett.  The lyric “ Ahah, I got melanin” shows that finally black women have something to boast about being black. The main purpose of this song is to say “We have every right to be proud of our colleges, features, skin, and everything good that comes with being a black woman.”

Another negative that Meita sees as positive is body image. In the olden days(Back in the days) and now, there was something called the Thin Ideal.  This is the concept of the ideally slim female body. Everyone loved females that were skinny, this is the era of body shaming. Often being the friend being targeted for jokes, she doesn’t take it to heart. She enjoys being her body size. She has nothing against it and appreciates who she was born to be. 

One thing that I admire  is how strong spirited Meita is . She didn't hesitate to keep mentioning that everyone was beautiful in their own way. She is confident in who she is and isn't worried about anybody else.  She says, “Why should I have to worry about others when they don't do anything for me.”

Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow Profile: Aliyah Abu-Hazeem ‘17

Interview with Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow (MMUF) Aliyah Abu-Hazeem in March, 2017. Interview by Brian Smith, OUR Student Assistant. Photo by Afia Ofori-Mensa, Assistant Dean and Director of Undergraduate Research at Oberlin College.

Brian: Could you tell me your name, year, major, and faculty mentor?

Aliyah: Aliyah Abu-Hazeem, Class of 2017, Law & Society/Sociology double major, Africana Studies/Politics double minor. Professor of Sociology and Chair of the Department, Daphne John, is my MMUF faculty mentor.

Brian: What did your research consist of?

Aliyah: Broadly, my research project examines causal factors for gun violence and crime in urban, impoverished, communities of color, using the Southside of Chicago as my case study. My project began with examining and isolating the social structures and institutions behind the perpetuation of gun violence and crime. Now, my research project focuses specifically on the actors behind the proliferation of gun violence as a means to privilege and give nuance to their rationales for engaging in illicit behaviors, which has not been a focus of the exploitative stories in the media coverage on issues of gun violence in Chicago. In an attempt to make sense of why Chicago has substantial rates of gun violence, compared to other similar urban locales, it is critical to examine what individuals are using gun violence in response to - what lack of access to resources or frustration with the current criminal justice system leads them to believe that gun violence is their only means to gaining support and/or visibility.

Brian: What do you find to be most meaningful about your research?

Aliyah: One of the most meaningful rewards to engaging in my research project is knowing that it has the ability to change lives positively. I firmly believe that my research project can contribute to substantive changes in contemporary, lax gun laws and social welfare policies that do more harm than help within marginalized, impoverished communities. Moreover, I am thrilled to be in a position that allows me to give voice to groups that continue to be relegated to the margins and really dismantle society’s preconceived, derogatory notions about the worth and value of Black men.

Brian: What do you hope to gain from conducting your research?

Aliyah: I hope that my research will contribute to the expansion of discourse in and out of academia such that Black men become more than a stigma and second-class participant in civil society. Time and time again, we see Black men suffering from neo-slavery (mass incarceration) and unable to provide a sustainable livelihood for themselves or their families. In turn, gun violence becomes the only viable option for them to gain access to resources. I want my research project to dismantle the notion that Black men are innately deviant and predisposed to committing crime and illicit behaviors. Instead, I want to move the discourse within scholarship to trying to understand why the enactment of gun violence becomes a social reality for Black men disproportionately than any other demographic.

Brian: Will you continue your research beyond undergraduate education?

Aliyah: Yes, I intend to enter into a PhD program in Sociology in the Fall of 2017 to continue pursuing my current research project as well as seek out avenues for its expansion. Moreover, I have had the opportunity to present my research in various high schools in Chicago, including my alma mater, as well as presented my research to broader academic communities via conferences and the Celebration of Undergraduate Research.

Brian: What is it like to do research at Oberlin over the summer?

Aliyah: Personally, it was quite challenging conducting my research project in Oberlin for the first summer of the MMUF program. Back home in Chicago, gun violence had peaked and reach a record high since 2010. I felt displaced from my community and that I was not able to be doing meaningful work at home. However, I do feel like the summer nurtured my understanding of the extant literature on urban violence and inequity and really provided me with a focused lens and entry point to ongoing discussions not only in the sociological field, but in contemporary political debates and policy as well.

Brian: What are your future goals at this point?

Aliyah: At this point, I intend to enter a PhD program in sociology, probably at Notre Dame. In addition, I intend to work on efforts to improve and expand crime intervention/social welfare services on the Southside of Chicago, making them accessible to the people who need to utilize their services the most.

Brian: What are some other activities, interests or hobbies that you pursue?

Aliyah: I appreciate any opportunity to write and express my feelings, dreams, fear, and motivations via prose, specifically poetry and stream-of-consciousness. In addition, I love music and dancing as well as spending time with my loved ones. I deeply enjoy making others laugh and feel good, too.

Brian: What has been your favorite moment of your time in MMUF?

Aliyah: One of my favorite moments during MMUF was presenting my research project and preliminary findings at our annual conference. This past semester (Fall 2016), we went to Washington University in St. Louis. It was an absolutely amazing opportunity to represent Chicago in a positive way as well as be close to Ferguson and hear about social justice activism and its intersections with scholarship from current Wash U students. It was an experience that affirmed the validity and importance of my research. Although I did not need this external validation, I was still appreciative to feel that people valued the narrative I was offering and wanted to learn more about what is really going on within my community and others like it.  

Brian: What advice would you give an Oberlin student interested in applying for MMUF or OCRF?

Aliyah: I would definitely encourage future MMUF/OCRF applicants to propose a research project that they’re passionate about and that is resonant to them, but one that can also lead to wide-scale social change. Indeed, it is important to be able to contribute your findings to the field and expand discourse within academia; however, it is crucial to also love the work you’re doing and to feel connected to the outcome that your project can have on certain communities and even the world. That is the work of transformative scholarship, producing knowledge comes with the territory.

Suburban Life 2/-

Pairing: Steve Rogers x Reader

Warning: angst, fluff, death, drama, comforting, sad reader, slow burn.

Summary: Steve had his daily run every morning. While running through the streets he noticeds a house with it’s lights on. A woman is dancing to the music, while making breakfast. Two childeren join her and they start eating. Steve is fasinated with the life of this little family and even stops to withniss this suburbane life every morning during his run. Feeling the need to settle down and the one question remaining Where is the man beloning tot this family?

A/N: Here’s chapter two. Sorry fort he delay, but during this seasson you got to have the stomachflu, jeej! Things are going to go slow, but just bear with me. Starting this story, really ignited my desire to write.

Chapter 02: Song of the heart

During the day, Steve thoughts shifted ongoing towards the little family. They seemed happy, but he felt that something was missing. The music kept repeating in his head, even his sparing session with Sam couldn’t clear his mind. 

So at 8 p.m. Steve found himself wandering, when he noticeds where he was. He had wandered too your house. Lights were on in de kitchen and upstairs. You were probable upstairs, bringing you’re kids to bed.

You turn the light off “Goodnight, little bugg.” You say to Alex. You head towards Isobels room, she’s still reading. “One more page and then you go to sleep, oké?” Isobel answers with an oke and turns on her side. It was a rough day, for both of you. Work was exhausting and you had to speak with Isobel’s teacher about her behaviour. You had expected that, the anniversery was a few days away. “Momma..?” Alex wispers, “Go to sleep, little bugg” you smile and head downstairs. Once in the kitchen you start to clean up. Making yourself a cup of tea, you decide to relax before settling for work. With the cup in your hand, you head ouside. The evening is still enjoyable this time of the year. With the thought of sitting and enjoying a peacefull moment, you stop in the doorway. Staring at the person, that is staring right back. On the otherside of the sidewalke stoot noother than Captain America himself, well his civilianform Steve Rogers.

Steve stands still, feet again wrooted to the ground. You glance at him and a ‘hi’ escapes you’re lips. Steve feels awkward and busted. It takes some time, but he replies with a shy ‘hi’, a pink blush forming on his cheeck.      

“Are you looking for something?” you ask, cursing yourself fort hat stupid question. Just because he is Captain America doesn’t mean he is searching for something.

“No, just wandering” Steve replies, not knowing what to say. There’s that little boy from Brooklin again.

“The weather is nice for wandering. The setting sun makes it a little magic too” you smile at Steve. He smiles back a sincere smile.

“Just don’t stay out to long, it start to get colder soon.” Again you mock yourself for your comment. You sound like a grandma. Jeejs, way to go and make an impression.

Steve shukles “Okay, I will.” his eyes smiling at you. Your a caring person, just as he thought. Steve replies with an goodnight and start walking again. You reply back and sit on the porchbench in front of you’re house.

Your thoughts shift, is something going on in the neighbourhood? Why is Captain America here? Is he undercover? Is there a threat? Or..Your thoughts are racing. You’ve seen pictures of Steve in Alex’s room. He had a poster of him and some card. But in real life he was, well..uhm.. just hot. “I don’t have time for this” you sigh and go inside.

While preparing another cup of tea, you think about work and the paperwork that was still waiting for you. Your children, they seemed tot be adjusting to the situation, the anniversary that was comming and all the things that had yet to come, it was going to be a long year. You startet your laptop and begane typing on your lessonplan and studentprofiles. At 12 p.m. you close your laptop and head upstairs. After a shower, your bed felt welcoming. Right before falling asleep, you're thoughts go to a very handsome men, with smiling eyes. Steve was awake before his alarm went off. He got dressed and wondered if you we're up. Or was it a one time thing. While running he kept on thinking about you’re little encounter. When he rounded the corner he smiled. You we're awake, lights on and music playing in the background. The air filled with a pancakesmell. Feeling a little brave, he walked towards your house and stopped, by the kitchen window. Hopefully you wouldn’t notice him.  

You stood with a bowl in your hands. You mixed the batter while dancing on Who's laughing now (Jessy J), mouthing the lyrics. Steve couldn’t help but smile, you looked so happy and full of energy.

Putting the batter aside, you start with the lunches. Singing and sipping you're coffee, cursing yourself for sipping while it was still hot. You take a minute and lean against the kitchen counter. The music switched to something more slow. While the radio plays, Let her go (Passengers) you take a trip down memorie lane. He would be with you in the morning. You preparing breakfast and hè would do the lunches. Al the while singing and dancing to the music. You even managed to fold the the laundry before the kids were up. He would go wakeup the kids and make sure they would get dressed. Together you would eat breakfast and clean up before going. Kissing him goodbye for work, his smell, the warmth of his hug. That we're the things you miss. It didn’t go unnoticed by Steve, that you’re demeanor changed. The woman standing there, wasn’t the same person he just saw a few minutes ago. Listening to the lyrics of the song, giving them a meaning, Steve figured you had too deal with a major lost.

You wipe away a tear in de corner of you're eye and head upstairs. “Time too wake up...waki waki.” You yell. Once Isobel and Alex were downstairs, you start making pancakes. The radio played more upbeat songs. You were cleaning the kitchen when Alex sat restless on his chair. “Honey, whats wrong. Are you troubled by something?” you ask.

“No momma, Just thinking about Captain America so much, that I thought I saw him by the kitchen window.” Alex replies. You look at the window and see that noting is there. Looking at Alex, you shake your head. “No more late night snacks for you, mister.”

Steve stand up, while dusting himself off. He grunds and curses himself. The boy saw him, thank god for his quick thinking and the many bushed at the side of the house. Well quick thinking, his hair was a mess, his sweatpants ripad and t-shirt dirty, how was he going to explain that.

Dominique shares Nonviolence with the TC community!

Dominique is a first year in the Curriculum and Teaching department; she is a certified Nonviolence trainer, and is passionate about sharing nonviolent philosophies and practices with others. What is Kingian Nonviolence?  In a very general sense, it is the nonviolent philosophies and practices seen during our country’s Civil Rights Era executed by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr as well as many others. However, nonviolence is not something that can just be discussed in the past tense. To quote the first principle of Kingian Nonviolence, “Nonviolence is a way of life for courageous people.” It can be practiced in every varying aspect of one’s life with a lot of thought, effort, and sacrifice.    How does the Nonviolent philosophy correlate with the TC philosophy? What makes Teacher’s College so special is its dedication to social justice and drive to advocate for one’s classroom. At the end of the day, we, as educators, want what is best for all of our students. We want to build an environment in our classroom where they feel comfortable, accepted, and eager to learn among their peers. In Kingian Nonviolence, this is often referred to as the beloved community - a community that includes and accepts all, no matter the circumstance. In my short time thus far at TC, this is a objective of all future educators I have encountered, and I truly believe that nonviolent practices and ideals can help its development. How would Nonviolence techniques be a useful resource for prospective teachers? The possibilities are pretty much endless! During my training, the absolute first thing we did was learn and discuss the importance of paying attention and empathy. We also discussed the extensive definitions of violence, non-violence, and nonviolence (yes, there is quite the difference between the latter two). When preparing to have one’s own classroom, in order to keep it a safe and productive space, these are all things to keep in mind. Additionally, as educators, our classes are bound to experience many conflicts every year. Kingian Nonviolence outlines different types and levels of conflict to help it be more easily identified, as well as steps to help resolve it. I can go on, but these are just a few examples. How can you see Nonviolence being implemented in the classroom? This is another question to which I have so many different ideas! When I was being trained, I was fortunate enough to meet with an elementary school teacher and a few of her students who discussed the many different ways they have used and learned about nonviolence in their school. I could write a list of how educators can implement nonviolence, but I’ll just explain my favorite daily activity that was shared with me. In the beginning of the school year, one practice many teachers follow is forming classroom rules or policies that all students should keep in mind. These usually include things like “work hard” or “don’t be afraid to make mistakes.” In the classroom of the teacher I previously mentioned, she included a list of the six principles of Kingian Nonviolence. Not only did they learn about what each principle meant at the time, but every day throughout the year they would choose one to focus on applying to their day. This allows us and our students to constantly practice nonviolent ideals. It is important to note that we can’t just decide at the beginning of the year that our classroom will be a nonviolent space and expect it to always work out; it is not something you can master fully one day. Nonviolence is a forever goal that requires constant effort and practice. This activity reminds us of that. How are you looking to bring your knowledge of Nonviolence to the Teachers College community? I would love to speak to any who are interested in learning more about nonviolence and how it can be brought to schools! It would be even better to train more future educators and administrators in nonviolence so it can be spread to wherever we all move on to after TC. If you are interested in learning more about Nonviolence and how you can bring it into your classroom, please contact Dominique at dnf2112@tc.columbia.edu.

STRONG Scholar Profile: Daniel Mukasa ‘19

Interview with 2015 STRONG Scholar Daniel Mukasa on March 1, 2017. Interview by Brian Smith, OUR Student Assistant. Photo by Kyle Youngblood, Assistant Director for Athletics Communications at Oberlin College.

Brian: Can you tell me your name, your year, your major, and who is your faculty mentor?

Daniel: My name is Daniel Mukasa, second year, math/physics double major, prior STRONG scholar, and I worked with Stephen Fitzgerald in the physics Department for two summers.

Brian: What did your research consist of?

Daniel: We were primarily researching materials for the purpose of storing hydrogen, and the central concept here is that if we could find a material that could store hydrogen then we could utilize hydrogen as a fuel source as opposed to energy sources that would release greenhouse gases, and in doing so we can kind of help the energy crisis that’s going on right now.

Brian: What do you find to be most meaningful about your research?

Daniel: I find the most meaningful part about this is the fact that it is research that is immediately trying to help the world. A lot of research in academia seems to kind of be just focused on increasing what we know, which isn’t a bad thing, but there a lot of problems in the world right now. For instance, the energy crisis alone - if a lot of third world countries are able to actually get to the level where America is right now then the energy source they will need is something we can’t supply and it’s essentially setting themselves up for failure, and just to improve the quality of people’s lives then we could do research that is pertaining to this issue rather than - I guess not meaningless, but more purely academic research.

Brian: What do you hope to gain from conducting your research?

Daniel: I’m hoping to gain an understanding of how to approach big problems. One of the biggest things I hope to get out of my education from Oberlin is understanding how to actually help the world with the things that I have learned. So, I hope to tackle these big problems like energy storage and try to see what are strategies we can take to actually achieve an answer to how we can supply the world with a viable means of energy or clean sources of energy, and then try to implement these in the real world to try and make a difference.

Brian: Will continue this research beyond undergraduate education?

Daniel: I’m not completely certain if I will continue this research. I’m continuing it this summer at Cal Tech for similar research of studying materials for the purpose of storing hydrogen, but as of right now my total career trajectory could be either studying materials physics for the purpose of storing hydrogen or anything that could help the energy crisis or researching biophysics for the purpose of creating new medicines to treat certain diseases that aren’t treatable right now or even looking into machine learning seeing the potential that can happen just helping people’s lives and increasing the quality of life for most people.

Brian: What is it like to do research at Oberlin over the summer?

Daniel: It’s a very nurturing environment in that most research professions and a lot of other schools who will have you essentially be a lab helper. At Oberlin the professors train you to run the lab yourself. They train you so then whatever research project they’re running  becomes a very individualized research project for you. Professors here are very willing to have you take away as much as you can from the research so you can go on and if you really want to pursue this career, and they’re very supportive in helping you get to conferences or other events like that. I was able to, last fall actually, fly out to Florida with a couple other Oberlin students to go to ABRCMS this annual biomedical convention for minorities in science. It was an amazing experience and I think without the help of Oberlin faculty to really push me to find these opportunities I wouldn’t have that chance to do things like that.

Brian: What are your future goals at this point?

Daniel: As of right now I want to spend the rest of my undergraduate career looking into what exactly I want to do to help the world whether that’s going to be from a science perspective or a scientific outreach perspective or generally helping underserved students with the sciences. I feel as though I can make a significant difference in all of those, but necessarily finding out which one and how I should divide up my attention to each one is still kind of shaky.

Brian: What are some interests, hobbies, or activities you pursue?

Daniel: Aside from science and academia, I really only have time for track and field. I’m a pole vaulter at the college. So I get to do that - which is really fun. It’s a really good stress reliever to get you away from the scientific world because there’s a whole other part of life we need to focus on and it’s nice to have that release.

Brian: What was your favorite moment in STRONG?

Daniel: I think my favorite moment was the entire summer before coming here and having the opportunity to be with other students who had also struggled in their careers of becoming, or getting to the point of being scientists or undergraduate scientists. It was really comforting to know that everything I was struggling with wasn’t something that I individually struggled with. There were other students who had struggled with feeling very alone in your classes or being the only Black student in their classes. Knowing that you are not completely isolated really helped out. Just having that really strong support group was amazing. Besides research, over the summer STRONG goes out to Cedar Point and it’s just a break from our research and we all get to hang out and just enjoy the entire day. That was really great because over the summer I had become best friends with the other ten STRONG scholars and having just a day and then going back to the house and then still hanging out and just having fun was just an amazing day.

Brian: What advice would you give to an incoming Oberlin student applying to STRONG?

Daniel: I would say if you are interested in the sciences definitely apply for STRONG because STRONG will give you a number opportunities that are harder to find if you are not in the program. You’ll have a number of connections from faculty to students that will teach you how to excel in the sciences, how to handle heavy course loads, and how to get whatever you want out of your academic career. Honestly, whether or not you’re really interested in research primarily STRONG still serves as a very great place to get these connections.

Brian: Thank you Daniel.

Meet our MFA students, including our incoming MFAs (class of 2021)!

[hesterhighschool]

Theo: Uhh…hey.

Q: Theo, you were first spotted earlier today helping Hester’s most popular bad boy, Liam Booker, with a flat tire. How did you two meet?

Theo: Um, he was just dealing with a flat tire, and I’m pretty handy, so I thought I’d help the poor guy out. Looked like he was having a crap day.

Q: Yes, and it seems the bad day got even worse, as he was spotted with a very bruised face this morning. Do you have any insight on how those came to be?

Theo: Nothing too major, though I guess it looks pretty bad. We went to a bar and go into a bit of a fight with some rough guys.

Q: Interesting. A bar brawl with Liam on your first night in town? Would you say you’re drawn to trouble?

Theo: Maybe a bit... Liam's a cool guy and doesn't seem like much trouble, but...don't get me started on my past.

Q: Really? What's the worst trouble you've ever gotten into?

Theo: Well, there was this one time when I snuck my car out in the middle of the night and it stalled going up a hill. I had to push it up all by myself, and when I finally got it home and passed out, I didn't wake up for a full day.

Q: How'd you manage to push a car uphill by yourself?

Theo: My dad works as a mortician so I have a lot of help carrying dead weight around.

Q: That sounds like a fascinating environment in which to grow up... What's the most interesting cause of death you've ever seen?

Theo: That'd have to be the Ren Faire knight who accidentally stepped on his own javelin and stabbed himself through the eye. Dad did a pretty great job of cleaning him up, though. He won an award for it. And don't even get me started on the time I had to work on the local country singer who was smothered by a roll away giant bale of hay at the State Fair. I was picking that crap out of her hair for days.

Q: That sounds a little crazy, even for the son of a mortician. Is any of what you told me just true?

Theo: No.

Q: Thank you, Theo.

Theo: Sure thing.
