To the man who killed my brother, I hope it hurts you. More than it hurts me. I hope it eats away at who you are on the inside. In time, I pray I get to see your face. I pray you don’t have the courage to look away. I am his youngest sibling and

Growing up, we are repeatedly told we can be anything we want to be. We’re told to dream big — the world is ours. Little kids are encouraged to aspire to be astronauts, princesses, the next president. But at some point, in between childhood and emerging adulthood, we are hit with a spheroid of misery,

In case it was lost in translation, he said, “[The Haitian immigrants who received visas in 2017] all have AIDS.” “Why are we bringing people from s—hole countries like Haiti and African countries?

This weekend, monologues that present a wide range of lived experiences, issues and raw emotions will be brought to stage with one promise to their authors: anonymity.

However, our

Earlier this month, Babe.net published a pseudonymous account of a 23-year-old photographer’s (“Grace”) messy date with actor/comedian Aziz Ansari. The reaction to the piece has been divisive; many suggest her complaints are representative of the #MeToo, #TimesUp and modern feminist movements having gone too far. Due in part to clickbait-y journalistic flaws and sensationalized storytelling,

The aduhan (أَذَان) at noon had just passed when I, together with my “God Has Many Names” group, entered a Muslim mosque for the first time in my life. The sunlight shone down on delicately weaved carpets whose graphic patterns were all facing the same direction. A man whose face was unseen kneeled down also

My name is Hu Yizhi (胡 以之). According to a traditional Chinese belief, a well-chosen name brings a person good luck. My first name, Yizhi (以之), often attracts attention because neither Yi nor Zhi has a concrete meaning. They serve the same function as “as” and “it” respectively in English, and are normally used in

I went to see “Show Some Skin” on Saturday night. Some of my friends had gone the previous nights. Julia said she cried 80 percent of the time. Katie said she felt uncomfortable. I took a notebook to write down my reaction. The show was sold out so we arrived at 6:30 p.m. to get
