Sunshine [DUPLICATE]
These lyrics are from the song “Sunshine” by rapper Young Dolph. This song was released near the beginning of the coronavirus era in April. During this time, I was longing for these difficult times to come to an end, despite them just beginning. I wondered when the sunshine would come back, when all the anxiety and grief would be replaced with relief and glee. The sunshine I had been longing for didn’t come as soon as I expected, but that doesn’t mean I’m giving up hope just yet. -

The Bigger Picture
The image I chose represents the pandemic, as it shows the many people protesting in the back with masks on. It also represents Lil Baby’s solidarity with the current BLM movement. He’s leading a George Floyd Protest in his hometown of Atlanta on a bicycle. This image is very important to me because as a Lil Baby, as well as a huge hip-hop fan, it represents how although we have a worldwide pandemic going on, that we shouldn’t stray away from the true problems in our communities. Baby used his huge platform and fanbase to spread his feelings and stance on a very relevant issue during today’s day. Even though he had COVID to worry about, he didn’t let it stop him from participating and leading protests over an issue that he believed strongly in. -
