I didn't know my own strength - Whitney Houston

As we all know Whitney Houston was a legend and still remains one till this day. It was tough picking a song by her because every single one of her songs is out of this world. She is talented beyond measure and she sings with such passion and makes it look so effortless. I picked this particular song because it relates to my current situation and a lot of my fellow students/peers. I say this because as first-year college students, we are taking a leap of faith and trusting ourselves to be responsible enough to achieve our dreams and make sure we still have the best four years of our lives. I'll be honest, it can be daunting at times because being away from home can truly test ones integrity and resilience. When something gets tough we truly have to deal with it ourselves, we can call our parents but they can only do so much. The lyrics go a little like this "Survived my darkest hour My faith kept me alive I picked myself back up Hold my head up high I was not built to break I didn't know my own strength", this speaks so well to our situation. Even if I haven't been through any rough patches yet, we certainly will in the future, near or far. We're considered adults now so there are obstacles we eventually will face and we are held accountable for our actions. If you don't know this song or Whitney Houston, I strongly suggest you check her and her music out! 

 P. S. YOU WERE NOT BUILT TO BREAK!

Final Video!

This video encapsulates some of the most important people in my life, obviously, a lot of people who I hold dear to my heart aren't included unfortunately because I don't have good pictures with them. This was a grueling yet heartwarming process for me because it brought joy to my heart and reminded how incredibly important it is to have people, even a few who really love you. I enjoyed this class, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be creative and to be me! https://youtu.be/dRWliQRjJvg

The new sound of music

For the "house music" era, I think David Guetta should be on that list. I say this for one because he is a DJ and two not only is he a DJ that creates sick beats/sounds but he allows other mainstream artists to use his pieces. An example of a beat he allowed an artist to sing on was on the song "Titanium" ft. Sia from 2011. This song is definitely, for lack of a better word, "housy". For the girl power era, generally, I wouldve picked a generic choice, Beyonce buttt im daring to stand out. I'm going with Rachel Platen for sure and some Demi Lovato, they both are incredibly talented artists with a strong female following and even stronger message to back that up. They are both women who have been through a lot of things in their lives and still choose to be unapologetically themselves. Demi as a matter of fact is still going through it right now and is on the road to recovery. I have a favorite from Demi and quite a few from Rachel. Demi's "w...

Performance art piece

My video is pretty self-explanatory. It is about the sexism that goes on in the workplace between men and women both at the same or a similar level and expertise. https://youtu.be/VnXxHeZcL4s
