During the Black Lives Matter movement we all have had an eye opening experience from the way we understand certain matters pertaining to different races down to the tattoos we have on our body. Ryun King's Tattoo Parlor at Gallery X Art Collective in Murray, Kentucky is here for the BLM movement and is offering free tattoo removal.

Ryun King's tattoo removal services is offered to those who want to correct racial tattoos or erase gang symbols.

As we learn more about what environment and circumstances that were forced upon our people of color we can't look away anymore. Gangs were a method to protect one another from oppression and to provide security that our communities were neglecting.

Removing tattoos that embraces oppression is a serious movement all on its own. We are saying we are not settling for less anymore by advocating the lack of basic human rights on our very own skin. We are here to let the color of our skin be our story.

There is only one race and we do not need to adhere to racial standards as means to survival.

Minorities will no longer self sabotage their own heritage. We are all here for change and it's an incredible opportunity that Ryun King's tattoo removal services are granting us. It's never too late for change and no mistake is permanent. Be kind to yourself we are all learning to be true to who we are.

"We have been flooded with hundreds and hundreds of messages, emails. It's immeasurable... We have people that just call our phones 24/7 for either something that they want covered, or just for a thank you." - Ryun King

Ryun King started his own movement as he inspired tattoo artist Jenni Rivera from Maryville, Tennessee.

"I'm booked out for the rest of the year doing one a week," she said. "And I've got 150 people on the list for next year, and I still have 300 texts to go through. It's insane." - Jenni Rivera

By encouraging equality, these tattoo artists are getting involved in BLM movement with all that they can.

Their tattoo removal is with confidentiality. For those of you who have a tougher back story, these artists are here to encourage loving art and are here to help get rid of any hate.

We thank these true artists for their services I'm sure many more will catch onto promoting equality by their own means necessary.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
