Hulu series “Wu-Tang Clan: An American Saga” works hard to recreate the mythology of the Wu-Tang Clan, but fails to deliver a compelling biopic. The series is the work of Wu-Tang Clan founding member Robert Diggs, better known as RZA, and “Watchmen” film screenwriter Alex Tse. Stor...

A jawn. Pronounced jôn. Noun. A person, place, thing, or event that doesn’t need a specific name. An indescribable, but memorable entity. I’m Shiavon and this is Shiavon’s Jawn. (If these two words don’t rhyme, then you’re saying my name wrong.) I’ve watched a lot of “Sex and the C...
OPINION: Stick and poke tattoos are the next best painfully beautiful trend
October 14, 2019
In an effort to get as many tattoos as I can before my parents find out, I went on a bit of a quest to get my next piece. Both of my previous tattoos are relatively small and, for the most part, undetectable at first glance. All I knew going into my research for another piece was that I wanted it to be tiny...

OPINION: Soulmates are real, and they can be platonic
October 7, 2019
I met one of my lifelong friends, Lauren, when we were each about 1 year old and I punched her, knocking her out in a “Mommy and Me” group. Ever since then I have been best friends with her and her older sister, Rachel. But our friendship extends beyond that. They are my soulmates. My platonic soulmate...
