As My First Assignment...

Hello Everyone, and welcome to my blog!

Having never done this before, and being assigned by one of my courses to create an expression of words and images such as this; I found it excitingly helpful to first be assigned to share with you all a blog of my choice. So here it is! http://www.wordsfromarevolution.com/ . I found myself connecting with this blog for a number of reasons and I hope you all experience a little of the same.

My instant reaction was to the comments that the author, Christine Aziz, shared in her "about me" box. Readers are instantly introduced to the content Aziz is concerned with as well as her passion and devotion to the reporting of female stories. She has a clear and inspiring message throughout her writing which intrigued myself as a reader. Her stories are not easy to swallow. She in fact points out herself, that the stories she chooses to focus on are stories that "people wouldnt want to read about this while having breakfast." They are heart wrenching and intense; forcing readers to acknowledge areas of life and in the world that are dark and lacking in color and happiness.

This quality of which her stories posses was another reason I truly found her blog to be excellent. Despite the difficulty that her stories take to accept-- through her writing and beautiful language and description, Aziz inserts color and hope back into the very places she delve to first discover them.

I found this blog to be eye opening and inspiring! It is a portal to moving content and exceptional storytelling.
