Another highlight performance for me was a cover of Nina Symone's song "4 Women" which is a song that I've fallen in love with in the last few years. My dad had me come watch Jill Scott, Ledisi, Marsha Ambrosius, and Kelly Price perform the song on an award show my sophomore year, and I loved it. I actually had my professor in my African American Literature course play the performance via YouTube for the rest of the class to hear. They were mesmerized. So when my presidents told me that this song would be performed, I was ecstatic. Just to clarify, I'm the Cultural Climate Chair of the organization. One of the presidents, our secretary, a member, and a fellow student performed the song and were incredible. I enjoyed the performance.
The part a lot of students enjoyed too were the mocktails that we had served throughout the event. Mocktails are non-alcoholic drinks mixed from orange juice, sprite, ginger ale, cranberry juice, and whatever the bartender chooses to make. I loved 'em! Our school always holds Mocktails throughout Freshmen Week, but I've never went to it so it was great to finally experience them. Anyway, here's a link from my lovie Jacqueline, who's a reporter at my school for our television station News36 about our event with an interview towards the end from yours truly http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kIcC1-6dS0 :)
Enjoy!
