💩Melanin: What makes Black People Black! 💩

I'll be honest, this book gets a 4/10 review from me. I don't like how the author took facts from so many scientific books and online articles, just to compile them in a journal and makes ties to how it applies to the black race.

I'm not discrediting anything that was said in the book, but that's only because it's common knowledge in the science/ biology world. The excessive use of secondary research in this journal was enough. What took it over the edge was how the author Afrika attempted to make teaching points from this second type of information. After a while, it starts to feel like the entire book was a result of Copy and Paste.

Llaila Afrika did a great job in displaying and explaining the information. If this was an attempt to teach a 3rd grader the specifics of molecules and particles, she would do a great job. However, I feel like I was waiting for those personal points of connection that would apply to black people as a whole. All I saw was secondary information that I've come across in other places and read online. Again, 4/10 is my review but still feel free to check it out.

Thank you - Pancho

CannaComps Reviews: Badd News

BADD NEWS CANNABIS " MIXING THE OLD WITH THE NEW " That's the motto for BaddNewsSeed. Hailing from Florida, this grower produces some of the freshest cannabis you'll see in the south.

Nike's Influence on the Conformation of Society

There are many products of today that people tend to buy in order to “conform” themselves with the rest of society. Whether it’s the lower class, middle class, or upper class, there is always one product that strikes the mind of individuals. The product that I decided to focus this study on is NBA Nike brand shoes. Nike brand shoes can apply to all people but are most commonly found amongst the younger crowd of today. The other large competing brand, Air Jordan, resembles the exact same level of demand as Nike. There are multiple reasons why Nike appeals to the younger generation of today. The company is known highly for its inner connection with super sport athletes everywhere. Almost every commercial that Nike airs on television includes a well-known athlete wearing the clothing or shoes. From Basketball and Football to Soccer and Baseball, Nike always finds a way to make a name for themselves in every sport. This wou...

Nike Personified

Th ere are brands advertised to people every day, with more being thought up of every minute. With each brand advertised, there are multiple people who become attached to a certain brand, thus forming a sense of brand loyalty. I’ve come across a lot of brands in my life , tending to direct my loyalty towards a select few. However, there is a dominant brand that I have come to really affiliate myself with, “Nike” . According to the website of Nike, “Nike, Inc. is an American multinational corporation that is engaged in the design, development, manufacturing and worldwide marketing and sales of footwear, apparel, equipment, accessories, and services”. With that being said, I feel like if this brand were to ever “ come to life ” , it would be more than just a single person. If the brand “Nike” ever came to life as a person, it would be in the form s of a man, a woman, a boy , and a girl, creating a Ni ke family. I feel that this is the appropriate incarnation to giv e the bra...
