‘Ramy’

On Sept. 14, the producers of Hulu hit series “Ramy” announced the return of a third season, which will hit the streaming service on Sept. 30. The debut of the show dates back to spring of 2019, and the show was later renewed for season two in May of the next year. The filming process of the second season was interrupted by the COVID-19 outbreak, and, cleverly, the producers of “Ramy” incorporated scenes of video call shots to tie the real-life crisis into the storyline. 

The importance of student employment

Student employment is incredibly vital to the functionality of Brandeis campus. Our Brandeis University Medical Corps service is a student-run, volunteer emergency group that provides medical attention to the Brandeis community. In addition, the BranVan is a student-run shuttle service that helps students, faculty, and staff to different parts of campus and Waltham. Our student research positions also serve as a great help to our community and faculty as  researchers  further along and contribute to academic projects and shape the curriculum of future class courses. Students can generally apply for these jobs through Workday, but the application process varies. Those with work study are given priority for the first month of the fall semester. Brandeis advertises that it has over 200 student-run clubs and organizations. However, a large majority of students within organizations are not adequately compensated. 

WNBA legend Sue Bird retires after 21-year career

With 28 seconds left in game four of the Women’s National Basketball Association semifinals, WNBA legend Sue Bird went coast-to-coast and laid the basketball into the rim off a simple hand-off play, closing the Seattle Storm’s deficit against the Las Vegas Aces to four.

The Aces players, led by the 2022 WNBA MVP and defensive player of the year A’ja Wilson, lined up and congratulated Bird on her retirement. Bird addressed the fans as they chanted “Thank you, Sue!” and headed back to the locker room.

Reflections from New York Fashion Week, and the importance of inclusivity

When I was a kid, I begged my family to watch  “The Devil Wears Prada” over three times a month. The scenes where the main character, Andrea, transformed into a highly fashionable woman who wore beautifully tailored and curated outfits are seared into my brain. That movie first sparked my interest in fashion. From then on, I would flip through magazines to see the new collections designers debuted for the season. I even asked my grandmother to teach me how to make dresses with our 1980s thrifted sewing machine. I was in awe of how glamorous the industry looked and how much thought seemingly went into every piece of clothing. I longed to be a part of that world even just for a second. However, that dream felt largely unattainable. I never saw a Black woman who I felt looked like me on the red carpets or sitting in the front row of fashion shows. I just assumed that there was no space for me, and that I would always just have to look on from the outside, or in this case, from my childhood bedroom drenched in pink and covered in magazine clippings.
