DUSA Academic Week Gala

The night was filled with cheers and screams for the models who graced the runway. It was Wednesday, the 16th day of October 2013, and the Academics Committee of Daystar University was crowning Academics week in Athi River Campus with a fashion show. It was one of the most anticipated shows of the week.

The venue was the school's amphitheatre. Acrobats were the first act to crown the stage. Men dressed in leopard leotards were throwing each other around making the crowd capture their breath, cheering whenever they completed a stunt. People were trickling in as Nyawera and Timo (the Master and Mistress of Ceremony) were hyping those already in. DJ Slouch kept the crowd on their feet with pumping new songs. During transitions they were perfomances such as singing, rapping, spoken word, and presentation of awards to people who had contributed to the show's success.

The judges of the event were Mr. and Mrs. Daystar, Mr. and Mrs. Peace. They based their judgment on dressing, attitude and crowd intensity.

The contestants were Melissa, Briana, Esther, Miriam, Rachel, Lydia, Dennis, David and Allen. The categories were casual, color fusion and traditional. They dressed to kill. Every one pulled out their best to impress the audience. Some of the contestants looked like they were born for the runway and they had actually taken time to practice their walk and pose along the runway.

In the end there had to be one winner. In the men's category David was the winner with Dennis second and Allen third. In the Ladies category Rachel won, with Melissa second and Miriam third. However, every contestant was awarded for their participation.

Men, we need to wake up

(all photos courtesy of Google). The world is evolving. Time is changing. Women are gaining power. Men are seated, watching, waiting for their turn. In the 90s and early 2000s all campaigns were directed at ‘empowering the women’ Do not get me wrong, women were mistreated and suffered under the tyranny of men and their egos. UNICEF created the International Day of the Girl to help end the circle of violence against adolescent girls. It is celebrated on the 11 th of October annually. Education was the major concern and center of debates, and the United Nations felt that it had serious impacts on human and economic aspects of society. Girls worldwide were forced to cook, clean and do other house hold chores while their male siblings went to school and received care and attention from parents. Girls were seen as a curse while boys were seen as a blessing. Men felt proud having a boy while mistreating the poor mother for having a girl. Something needed to

The Most Amazing Story Never Written

(Made on Canva) Alright. We need to write a short film and shoot it by the end of the month. Ok. What story are we telling? What stories excite the masses? I am not too sure. I think drama has been overwritten. Action? You think we can pull it off? We are going to need a budget for that. Not to mention we are going to need a trainer, an action director, a stunt manager, a doctor, practice the stunts, different days for shooting, a good director of photography and fit actors? Hahaha. Why do you think we would need fit actors? You trying to say we can’t find any? From the people we have. I highly doubt it. What would our actors be fighting against? Aliens? They never come to take over the world here. Zombies, our actors would run and leave us alone on the set. Moreover, we couldn’t get it approved. We don’t fight wars and we never have had heroes we can write about. How about we check online? All I found were stories about aliens, zombies and things that would never happen this side of t

Why an antagonist is important to a story

(Made on Canva) Who is an antagonist? An antagonist is the villain of a story. It can be a human being, a natural phenomenon like a hurricane, a disease, an animal, an idea or a fictional character like a dinosaur. The aim of the antagonist is to create chaos and wreak havoc while creating obstacles for the protagonist (hero). The protagonist has to find a solution to the uncomfortable situation caused by the antagonist. In story-telling, the antagonist propels the story forward by creating an inciting incident that forces the protagonist to go on a journey to remedy the situation and restore balance. In the Dark Knight (2008), the Joker creates chaotic situations in the city of Gotham with the aim of killing the Batman. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Thanos is looking for rings that will give him ultimate power and make him the supreme being of the universe. Why are antagonists not popular? Being an antagonist is not very appealing, especially in the acting business becau
