Hi there. What all did you do to get into Pepperdine if you don't mind me asking?

Hello, I’m surprised my Pepperdine posts are still up there seeing that my tumblr is now gone. But I was surprised I did get in, I only had a 3.4 GPA when I applied and a D in Pre-Calculus my senior year. When I spoke to a dean one day he mentioned that he loved my essays and extracurriculars (I had started my own humanitarian club.) I think Pepperdine sees you more as a person than other academic institutions so make sure you brush up on those essays and talk about your achievements in leadership. That said, I left the school in two years and I personally wouldn’t recommend choosing it over schools like UCLA or USC unless they’re really into the whole Christian thing. But if that’s you, you’ll probably enjoy it a lot.

Taking African-American Cinema

The fact that so many black directors had to play themselves in their first break-out hits is indicative of how limited and unforgiving the market was.

When we speak we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.
