Women, Rap and The Grammy's

Women in rap were always disregarded, until this year's Grammy's.

This year women were running the show. They delivered the night's best performances. The most rememberable performances like Cardi B's 'Money', Camilla Cabello's 'Havana' or Janelle Monae's and Miley Cyrus's 'Jolene' performance.


Cardi B won a Grammy for 'Best Rap Album' with her album 'Invasion of Privacy'  against Travis Scott's 'Astroworld' album. I honestly found that amazing! 'Astroworld' was an extraordinarily big project with astounding songs. It's amazing that a women rapper won the award against such a successful rapper.

Last year when Neil Portnow, Grammy's President, was asked about the lack of women in the top categories he said that women need to "step up". He did acknowledge that it was a poor choice of words and apologized at this year's Grammy's. When Dua Lipa won 'Best New Artist' she said: "I guess this year we really stepped up.".



I honestly think that it was amazing that this year women really stole the show. Last year women were not represented at the Grammy's. Lots of people weren't happy about it. So this year they gave us what we wanted.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Meltdown - Book Review

What will Greg Heffley do when it's a snow day? He'll have a neighbourhood snow battle, that's right. Greg Heffley lives on Surrey Street and it's quite different from your average neighbourhood. On Surrey Street, you're either a hill kid or a non-hill kid. Greg and the hill kids can't stand the non-hill kids. In the summer the kids at the bottom never let the hill kids play down there. But in the winter the tables are turned. The hill is amazing for sledding and all the non-hill kids want in. Upper Surrey Street ambushing lower Surrey Street kids If you really want to enjoy and understand this book you have to know your Wimpy. In this book, there are a lot of callbacks to things that happen in previous books. So, to understand this book read a couple of the older Wimpy Kid books.  So I really loved this book. In fact, I really love the entire series. I would recommend this book to ages 10-12. Something I would love to see is this book in movie for

TIGER - Movie Review

Pardeep Singh Nagra was a boxer. Well, more than that actually.  Tiger is a movie based on the true story of Pardeep Singh Nagra. Pardeep was born and raised in Canada. He faced lots of discrimination because of his faith and culture. He was raised by his aunt and uncle because his parents moved to India.  In the movie, Pardeep had lots of rage and anger. That's how he became a boxer. He let out all his anger with each punch. The boxing club that he attended was filled with racists. He got better day by day with practise and support from his coach and soon from his fellow boxers. The problem soon arose. The ABC (American Boxing Commission) didn't approve of Pardeep boxing.  It was because he had a beard and the rules say the boxer must be clean shaved. Pardeep and his lawyer fought until he was allowed to box. But did it work? Watch the movie to find out! I can relate to the movie. I have witnessed and faced racism countless times. I think that what Pardeep did r

Meeting a Member of The LGBTQ Community May Not Be Possible In The United States

Gender is how society defines if your a boy or a girl. It’s different from being biologically male or female. But in the United States, it might soon mean the same. On Monday, October 22nd the Trump administration wants to change the definition of gender. Lots of people spoke out to this memo, including Diana Flynn who is one of the leaders at Lambda Legal. Lambda Legal is a group which fights for LGBTQ rights.  "For years, courts across the country have recognized that discriminating against someone because they are transgender is a form of sex discrimination," Flynn says. Many other people also spoke out at a news event. Mara Keisling, a leader of the National Center for Transgender Rights, spoke with many other activists. She says that she feels like she’s in danger because of this memo. There have been many other attacks on the transgender community. They have been refused from joining the army, donate blood and in some cases buy a cake. The government threw out a
