It’s Women’s History Month (or should we say ‘herstory’)! As students at 老司机传媒, take some time to contemplate the amazing contributions that women have made to our world. All around us are incredible women making their mark on our lives, and in the past hundred years, we have come so far in our fight for equal rights. The fight is not over and in honor of the women who have contributed to the media, we can reflect on what they have accomplished. If you are looking for women who are contributing to the creative space, here is a non-exhaustive list of some favorites from fellow Andrews students. Perhaps you could watch a movie featuring an incredible actress, listen to music brought to life by a female singer, or read a story with a strong female character. However you choose to uplift women, try to find some time to give some special attention to women during this month as we celebrate their impact and creativity.

Currently, I have Halsey’s music on repeat, especially her “If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power” album. I love themes of femininity sprinkled throughout all of Halsey’s work. This album has an interesting mix of music that seems to be a twist on the rock genre mixed with pop while being put into the alternative genre. Whatever the music genre is, I have been enjoying it immensely.
