Super Bowl or Trap!

Watch Out for others while at any event! You could save someone’s life.

Today is the day for the Super Bowl. Some may say its the biggest football event in the country. People have their teams pick to win. If your team is not in the game; then you either don’t care who wins or just watch it for the commercials. Fans start early in the morning tailgating and get into the groove for the day. This year it’s against the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers. Mahomes vs Garoppolo. The talk of the commentary is usually a veteran team against a young team; but this year it’s two young teams. At the half, it is tied 10-10 but anything can happen.

But not only is it the Super Bowl but it is commonly known as the single largest human trafficking incident in the United States. Be on the look out for strange and out of people. They go to the game just to traffick and steal people; mostly children. IF you see anything suspicious, call the authorities and stand up. February is the human trafficking awareness month and the 13th is the day to wear a read x on your hard for awareness day. I am a advocate for the End It Movement. It’s an organization to help spread/raise awareness to end modern day slavery. If you are thinking that you wan’t to be apart of this movement; it’s really simple. This movement is not only in the United States but it is a global movement. It happens anywhere. Ill give you the five steps to take part in the End It Movement.

  1. Find the next year’s date and put it on your calendar to remind you beforehand. This year is on February 13th.
  2. On the day of, draw a red “X” on your hand (don’t tell anyone, but pink works too)
  3. Take a selfie
  4. Post it with the tags #EndItMovement and #EndIt. (Donate money too!)
  5. Ask people to join you doing the same, or you can even prep a team of friends in advance

I’m saying to enjoy your team play but also just be prepared and aware. What if it was your daughter, sister, cousin, friend, brother, or son. Would you fight for someone that you don’t know like you would fight for your family. What would the world be like if we ended modern-day slavery? Have you thought about it… take a moment. I’ll wait.

Listen to the song by LZ7 and Matt Redman called “27 million” on YouTube. It is filmed and performed live in the former Georgia Dome in Atlanta. Really listen to the words of the song; if it doesn’t capture your heart I don’t know what to tell you.

If you want more answers to your questions; i will be happy to answer them.

Media Arts- Performance Reflection Wk 2

This week we learned about how to move an object across the room with only using a score ( which means writing a set of directions for someone else to recreate). We split into two groups and one team was creative on showing the peaceful side of life from young to old age in a sequence with chairs and origami bird. My group showed time passing over a course of time with the dying of a tree and a growing of another one with the symbolic object as green plastic cup for an apple. Next week, will be a short skit performance that I will post so that you guys can see. FYI, I’m not a professional and probably will be awkward.

Media Arts- Performance Wk 1

Be a statue or support them.

This post is something to do for a class at my university that is apart of my major. So you will see a total of eight posts about this class. Not sure what category this falls under; maybe call it a lifestyle (college) post.

Performance class? What comes to your mind? Theater, a stage, performing to a live audience, possibly. No, this class is about.. well I’m not sure myself. I forgot. Oh! It’s about crating something new in a different way. We live in a society where every day something changes. How you see the world is different from they way others view it.

Today, we met for the first time as a class and had a exercise where we had to either be a support or a statue. Yes, I know! The teacher made us break to comfort box and touch (be a support to someone’s statue) only an hour after class started. Like what! I was like hold up; you want me to actually touch their shoulder or arm… hmm I’m good. This class y’all is 4 hours long. I know right like I can hear you saying, ” Girl, you crazy for taking a 4-hour performance class. Why? Does the teacher give breaks?”

Creativity takes courage, but behind every performer is a beginner who fell in love with expression, storytelling, and being set free.

About the Author!

Confidence is beautiful!

I’m so glad you’re here.

Hey! My name is Cheyenne. I’m from a small town in Southern Illinois. (If you don’t know where that is located; let me help you out. The one place people think you are from when you say Illinois; is Chicago right? Well, my home is on the opposite end of the state.) I know that a majority of people will say, “Oh you live in Illinois with what the governor is doing or why don’t you move to another state and get out while you can.” Even though I don’t like the way the government in Illinois right now is going or said governor; but Southern Illinois is my home. My family and friends are here. I go to university in this state. Yes, I know crazy.

More about me is that I love to travel and experience new cultures. Road trips are the best; yeah to some they are boring but I find joy in them. You see the sights that you have or haven’t seen before. Brings peace and serenity to just take a drive. Try it out! Also, taking road trips with friends is excited and a must for memories.

I am a sports girl. I played softball when I was younger from peewee to major summer ball. I played football with some of my guy friends back home; I was kinda good. But I had pent up anger inside of me for years and I never knew football was a way for me to take my anger out on people. It was like my escape from the world; my painful and less expensive therapy. Football, softball, and photography are my ways of therapy. I love going to and watching football, basketball, baseball/softball, boxing, and WWE (entertainment side). I have friends that play hockey, soccer, and golf; I just don’t understand those sports. I love my friends; just not a fan of those sports. That doesn’t mean I won’t go a support and cheer for them. I am a big supporter and a fan of sports; even if I have to work those nights. I will be cheering and yelling out play from the sidelines or at home.

Yes, I will say it and I am not ashamed of this either. I am a Christian. My faith is very important to me because God has helped me through some tough times in my childhood and has made and is continually making me stronger from them. I still have some issues from that experience but I’m working through them. God has always been there for me; even when I didn’t realize it. At one point, I thought that He abandoned me but I wasn’t strong enough to open my eyes to see Him standing next to me and going through those battles with me. I have no trust in certain people but I know now that I have full trust in my King and Father. Everyone has baggage; no one is perfect. God knows my plan and has my life planned out; I just have to be patient (which is hard for me).

Just remember to be patient; God’s not done with your story yet. –Philippians 1:6 NIV

All the love,

Cheyenne
