(Above) Most nights, Bad Bunny will choose a fan from the crowd to bring on stage and into “La Casita” section of his set. In this case, a fan was pulled on stage to sing the beginning of the song “VOY A LLeVarte PA PR,” which has become typical on the tour.

(Above) The parking lot at Se7enBites is bursting with different colors, designs, and forms of art following the erasing of the Pulse crosswalk. Each individual who participated in the Parking Space for Pride--A Rainbow Connection event was welcomed to let their creativity flow and create something unique to them.

(Above) When asked to share his opinion on the uniqueness of this modern situation of redistricting, Mr. Clemens shared how, “Political Gamesmanship has been going on for a while now. It hasn't been nearly as overt as what is happening in Texas. It is usually hidden in state legislatures. We also have never seen the opposition party leave the state so that the state legislature cannot call a vote on the new map that they just created. California is merely a reaction to Texas.”

(Above) Ten months out of every year, the United States recognizes minority groups, their accomplishments, their culture, and their extensive value in society. The origin of these months can be traced back to 1968. During his presidency, Lyndon Johnson jumpstarted the idea of set periods of time during the year to put minorities in the spotlight with his creation of Hispanic Heritage Week. This week of recognition was ultimately expanded into a month twenty years later by President Ronald Reagan, catalyzing the future establishment of the remaining heritage months that are now a foundational part of American society.

(Above) After Eid prayers are finished, everyone goes outside and wishes, "Eid Mubarak" or, "Happy Eid" to each other. This is where Muslims are able to meet with their friends and celebrate Eid together. At my local mosque, after Eid prayers occur, there are usually tons of food and treats outside. There is also toys and games children can buy, and that is when I go home and we give each other Eidi, or money, as a gift. According to bbcgoodfood.com, "Eid is all about feasting since it comes after a month of fasting (Muslims are not permitted to fast on this day). Whilst there is no set menu for what should be on the table, dishes prepared are always rich and decadent."
