THE PUPPY DIARIES: a photo series

shot by Maddy Graves

A photo series documenting the lives of three weeks old black and white labradors. There were six puppies total: three black puppies and three white puppies; two girls and four boys! Their first weeks of birth were amazing and messy. All puppies do is sleep, eat, and poop, however, it’s beautiful to witness their first weeks of life. From watching their eyes open for the first time to hearing their first barks, it was an unusual and adorable experience.

WHAT THE 4TH MEANS TO ME AS A BLACK WOMAN

Happy 4th of July. America’s Independence Day. The day the nation officially separated itself from England and built its own empire on the basis of equality. The Founding Fathers stated: “We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”. What beautiful words, filled with hope and unfortunate false promises. In 1776, people of color were not free, not independent, and not even considered people. While today we are free, we are not treated equally due to prejudice and loopholes within legislation as well as social and cultural influences that still rot our society today as a result of slavery. Every year on the 4th of July I take time to read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to a Slave is the 4th of July”.

The show is called Fruity Thot, and explores a wide variety of topics from art and culture to identity and empowerment.

We put on our headphones and danced to "Genius of Love" by The Tom Tom Club and the ever so iconic "Dirrty" by Xtina, pumping ourselves up. Once we started the interview the conversation flowed. Matt did a great job of building on our comments and asking us insightfu
