In an effort to expose myself to more diverse animation and stories, gen:LOCK quickly jumped to the top of my queue.

The show is a high concept sci-fi fantasy, set in a futuristic dystopian society with advanced nanotechnology, mind transfers/mindsharing, and high tech mecha designs. The show also features a cast of diverse characters forced to team up and save the world. I mean, that’s a tale as old as time.

Becoming Carol

By

I felt like I easily saw myself in her, which hasn’t really happened with a super hero character on the big screen. Sure, I connect and relate. But there were moments that I felt like Carol WAS me.

Women of the World: Lucy (Book Review)

By

As an English teacher, I often have to remind my students that you don’t have to like a book for its message to be important. March’s book had me listening to my own advice. I really struggled writing this review. Yet, I think the tension that I felt while writing this blog is the entire point of reading this book.
