How Does Misogynoir Effect Black Women?

Hello! This is yet again another assignment that I did for an English class. It’s one of my proudest works and I hope you enjoy it!    Abstract The main topic of this paper is misogynoir, and how it effects Black women and feminine presenting people. We’ll be looking at a series of personal experiences, studies, and definitions to explore this topic. There will be sections that focus on misogynoir in school, workplaces, protesting, and childbirth. I felt that these were some of the most important and/or interesting presentations of misogynoir. There will also be some ways you can help combat misogynoir and be of support to the Black feminine community. Keywords : misogynoir, racism, intersectionality, misogyny, feminism, Black women, obstetric racism, feminine presenting         What is Misogynoir?                First and foremost; what is misogynoir? I would define misogynoir ...

Life Update


 Hello! I'm sorry for how long I've been gone. I've been meaning to make this post for a while and I've really been procrastinating on it. 

I started school last month and I'm also doing a lot of extracurriculars and it's been a lot. I've also been taking more time for myself, hanging out with my friends more, and watching more tv (lol). I've decided that I'm only going to be posting here once a month. The 5th of every month to be specific. But this post doesn't count so I'll be posting again very soon! 

As always I hope you enjoyed reading this post! If you did, please subscribe to my emailing list and follow my Pinterest so that you can stay updated on my latest posts! Come back next month for more words from Willow!

“Passing” by Nella Larsen: An Analysis

  “Passing” by Nella Larsen: An Analysis by Willow V.  Hello! This is an assignment that I did for my Harlem Renaissance American Literature class. This essay is my own original work.            In Nella Larsen’s “Passing” a Black woman named Irene Redfield, who is usually seen as “an Italian, a Spaniard, a Mexican, or a gipsy. Never, when she was alone, had they even remotely seemed to suspect that she was a Negro” (Larsen), finds out that her childhood friend, Clare Kendry, has been passing as White after seeing her in Chicago for the first time in 12 years. There are 3 sections of the novella; Encounter, Re-Encounter, and Finale. The first section, Encounter, includes the event in Chicago mentioned above, along with Irene being invited to visit Clare at her hotel in Chicago where Clare Kendry and her extremely racist husband, John Bellew. Mr. Bellew has absolutely no idea that Clare isn’t actually White, and calls her “Nig” because “When we wer...

“Recitatif” by Toni Morrison: A Rhetorical Analysis

 Hello! This is my essay that I did on Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” for my African American Literature Class this quarter. Please do not copy my work.  Recitatif by Toni Morrison: A Rhetorical Analysis             Toni Morrison’s “Recitatif” tells the story of two girls living in New York, one Black and one White (but you will never know who is what), and the development of their relationship from being close friends to going separate paths but still happening upon each other. The two most central characters are Twyla and Roberta, Twyla is the narrator of the story, and there is five main parts of the story where their paths cross. There is also a particularly important side character, Maggie, who worked in the kitchen of the St. Bonaventure shelter the girls stayed in for four months. Toni Morrison uses strong imagery and details along with words and sentences that are not too complex to give the story a tense, somber, and sometimes immature mood....

I DID AN INTERNSHIP AT FRED HUTCH!!!!!!!!

 Ok, I have a word limit for this so I'll just give you guys a bit of background info on what this is then I'll get into the post because this post is actually an assignment for the internship.  1.  This  is Fred Hutch  2.  This  is the internship I did  So I  have a few favorite things from this internship, ranging from the scenery to the labs. (Mostly the labs) But the thing I loved the most, were the tours. Seeing the labs and meeting people who work there and what they do is fantastic.  This is from the first tour, a picture of the view from the sky bridge. Yes, a skybridge!  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures of labs when we did tours, but I did get pictures from the labs that we did.  This is from a PCR lab. PCR stands for polymerase chain reaction. It essentially makes a bunch of copies for a specific gene. Copies are made by putting DNA into a thermocycler. Changes in temperature can change the bonds of the DNA, f...
