OPINION: I did not know about motivational speaker Dr. Umar Johnson until a couple of years ago when he made plans to do a talk on campus. I briefly researched him, and for a while, “Black queens forever, snowbunnies never” became a staple of my vocabulary. ⁠
⁠
While Dr. Umar was fairly new to me, his rhetoric and talking points were ingrained in my upbringing. I am used to references to pop culture figures going over my mother’s head, but she met my mention of Dr. Umar with “Oh yes, I love what he has to say.” ⁠

There is not a theater experience quite like Bad Movie Night Club. Viewers are free to react however they like without judgement from the other members. Hosting a screening every Wednesday at 8 p.m., Bad Movie Night shows some truly terrible, high camp movies. ⁠
