Drag queens sparkled, giving their all dancing and lip-syncing through the cafeteria for Riverside City College students. Hollers, rhythmic clapping and laughter could be heard all around as everyone expressed their exhilaration.
|
The event was hosted by the Sexuality and Gender Acceptance Club (SAGA) to provide a space for the members of the LGBTQIA2+ to be themselves on campus.
|
Anita Rose, the drag show host, cracked jokes and hyped up the crowd in between sets. She poked fun at the other queens when introducing them.

Becoming the editor-in-chief during a publication’s centennial has been a substantial opportunity.
|
I have watched Viewpoints shift and evolve with each new editor-in-chief since spring 2019 when I joined as a staff photographer.
|
I hadn’t even thought about applying for the position until after I was promoted to managing editor the following semester. I was happy to help out in any way because I found a program with other people who shared my passion for journalism.
|
The best thing about being on staff was all the reporters and editors that worked endlessly to ensure the paper ran as smoothly as possible despite many Adobe InDesign crashes and late night breaking news writing sessions.
