PICNIC x FOOTBALL x FRATERNITY SIGMA LAMBDA BETA

March 9th, 2010 | By All Day

This weekend was an awesome experience, it was Sigma Lambda Beta’s annual picnic/football game with our brothers from Kappa Alpha Chapter (University of Arizona, in Tucson Arizona) Vs. Chi Beta Chapter (Arizona State University, in Tempe Arizona). We began our day by hosting a cook out at Papago Park, next to the Phoenix Zoo. We had delicious Hamburgers and Hot Dogs along with all sorts of chips and salads. Further down the day, we moved to another location where we played football. Of course, I was feeling a bit tired, so I took a nap while in the second quarter of the game. Unfortunately, our chapter lost on overtime, but overall, I had a great time…. p/s can you spot me out in our group photo?

DORAN EVENT x SAKS FIFTH AVENUE

March 1st, 2010 | By All Day

This past weekend on Saturday, my scholarship donor, Mr. and Mrs. Doran, took our entire cohort on a special event “Dress for Success” at Saks Fifth Avenue located at the Biltmore Mall in Phoenix. It was here where we had the privileged to get a tour of the store before it opens and get a behind the scene look of how it is run. We where also given tips and lectures of how to dress for success in the business world. Great advise was learned from this event, it was definitely a great event to attend. Thank you Saks. After the event, our cohort was invited for a luncheon over at California Pizza, courtesy of the Dorans. Shout out to the Dorans who make all of this possible, thank you.

While at the shop, some random gentleman and his wife approached me. They were curious, ask if I was selling my vehicle. I told them $5,000 cash takes it. They sounded pretty interested, even took it out for a test run…

CULTURAL IDENTITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY x ASU PRESENTATION

February 24th, 2010 | By All Day

Last night I attended a presentation featuring Dr. Na’im Akbar, a former President of the Association of Black Psychologists and Author of “Visions for Black Men”. He preached about “Cultural Identity in the 21st Century”. I thought Dr. Akbar made some great remarks about social and racial identity in his presentation and also did a great job in differentiating both of these terms. Truthfully, I was expecting his presentation of cultural identity to hold a specific focus on the 21st century, just as his title of presentation showed; however, his presentation was more of a compare and contrast regarding identity prior to the 21st century and correlating examples from the past to the present day. Overall, it was a great informative presentation. Interestingly enough, a couple faces I know where there showing support to Dr. Akbar’s presentation.
