As I wrote in a post last week, I had the opportunity to portray the amazing turning points in the life of a woman named Carolyn through the new program called Living Canvases. When I sketched and resketched and eventually painted these moments, my understanding of Carolyn’s life came from a recording of her describing these moments, a photo of her, and a sketch she had outlined herself. But, on Monday, I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Carolyn in person, along with two of her amazing neighbors, and her mother, Dorothy.

So, it’s the last week of classes. Aka that period of time when you very tragically and conveniently fall into binge watching __________. I feel you so hard on this one. Daredevil and House of Cards are gaining momentum in my heart and it’s kinda scary.

Here’s a little video I made of my adventures yesterday in the Arts District. I encourage everyone to check out the Arts District; it’s just a 15 minute drive away from USC and you can spend the whole afternoon walking around the beautiful post-industrial neighborhood, making it the perfect getaway from the hustle and bustle of the downtown college life. Spots located in the video are the Daily Dose Café, Artist & Craftsman Supply and Little Bear Pub. The Arts District is definitely one of LA’s most underrated neighborhoods. Be sure to check it out and enjoy the getaway!

The Rolling Stone committed an egregious act that violates journalistic ethics across the board. Not only did the staff fail to challenge the words of their main source, the alleged victim, they also refused to communicate with the alleged attackers nor the additional sources provided by the so-called victim. The worst part about this fiasco is the fact that all of this could have been avoided had the staff of Rolling Stone practiced basic journalistic practices. The story did not have any complexities; unfortunately, rape on college campuses is less of an anomaly and more of a fairly frequent occurrence. The staff only had to follow up on the information that the girl had given them. She specifically gave names and even mentioned the exact fraternity house along with dates of the “rape”. The staff was given all of the imperative information without any investigative work done; therefore, fact checking should have been a simple task.
