Nov 23, 2024 | georgetownvoice.com | Aminah Malik |Ajani Jones |Connor Martin |Aidan Munroe

Last semester, I saw keffiyehs all around campus, not just worn by Arab and Muslim students, but by students of all communities. Collectively outraged at the ongoing genocide in Gaza, swaths of the student community came together to demand a ceasefire. Georgetown University Students for Justice in Palestine organized demonstrations and walkouts, which dozens of students participated in. On Nov.

While New York City is affectionately dubbed “The City That Never Sleeps” and Los Angeles is the cultural hub for celebrity sightings and detox juices, Washington, D.C. is known for its precarious balance between corporate sellouts and congressional aficionados. Operating as the beating heart of American politics, D.C. cannot seem to think about anything other than its day job—especially when it comes to entertainment.
Love Is Blind Season 7 is a half-apt portrait of the District and its dating scene

Oct 13, 2024 | georgetownvoice.com | Aminah Malik |Brian McMahon |Annemarie Cuccia |Graham Piro

“It is the type of town where you get asked out on LinkedIn.”As 31-year-old Perry Slomnicki summed up in one simple sentence, dating in the District is nothing short of a mess. For its seventh season, Netflix’s Love is Blind is back for another round in the “pods,” this time in the nation’s capital.

Content warning: This article includes mentions of racism, Islamophobia, and an anti-Palestinian hate crime. Donia, an international Palestinian graduate student who spoke to the Voice on the condition that she be identified only by her first name, sent an email on Nov. 8 to university administrators titled, “My family has been KILLED – University’s Silence on Genocide.” In the email, she wrote that 52 members of her mother’s family, including 17 children, had been killed in Gaza since Oct. 7.
At Georgetown, diversity should be more than clickbait

Oct 22, 2023 | georgetownvoice.com | Aminah Malik |Lou Jacquin

The day I graduated high school, I opened Instagram to find a picture of myself, donning cap and gown, on the school system’s story. I was elated to have my five seconds of fame, and it wouldn’t be the last time something like this happened. Throughout my time at Georgetown so far, I have found my picture in newsletters for clubs and campus events on several occasions—even for clubs I am not a member of and events I only popped in to for a few minutes.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse weaves a perfect web of story, style, and sound

“Nah, Imma do my own thing.”The climactic phrase of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023) embodies the direction the cast and crew took in their creation of the highly-anticipated film. Five years after the release of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), its sequel has finally hit the theaters, and despite the high standards set by the first installment, part two is just as good, if not better.

When I was a sophomore in high school, I misspelled my name on the PSAT. I didn’t notice until my proctor pointed it out. I had left the “a” off the end of my name, calling myself “Joann” instead of “Joanna.” My mom and dad laughed when I told them about it that night. My mom called me silly. I don’t think about that moment often, but when I let myself dwell on it, I can’t help but think it might have been the beginning of the end.
