Rachel Wiley and Siaara Freeman, renowned slam poets and activists, will perform this Wednesday, 3/20/2019 at 7 pm in Basil Gateway Midlevel.

ANGLES: Hi Molly! Can you tell us a little more about yourself? MF: Oh, god, I’m so boring. I am a junior at SCSU in New Haven, CT. I went to France this summer as part of a French film studies/filmmaking program. I lied to so many people over there. Every time someone asked where I went to school, I just said, “You know Yale? I’m like five minutes away.” But sometimes, for brevity, I’d just say I went to Yale. It’s quicker, y’know? Anyways, I’m not a pathological liar. I’m just lazy. And my laziness doesn’t really come across in...

ANGLES: Hi Brittney! Can you tell us a little about yourself? BB: I’m a sophomore, part-time student at St. John Fisher. I am a Media and Communications major with two minors: Women and Gender Studies and Film and Television Studies. I definitely love movies, film, and art. Anything artistic or creative is what I do in my spare time. It’s definitely something that I use as sort of a self-care routine. A lot of my art is reflective of what I’m going through and it’s just very calming, so that’s become an outlet for me. ANGLES: The layers of...
