8-14 How formal should our written language remain? Is its evolution ok?
Noah Nellis
The vast majority of English is written the same as it was 20 years ago. Over 90 per cent of the text that we use on a daily basis is standard English. Of course you have emojis and slag words people use as a descriptive tool to show how you feel or a using them in a way to get your point across. The author of BuzzFeed crafted a set of guidelines when writing articles when and where to use emojis and standard punctuation. Just because we are not using traditional writing doesn't mean we are losing clarity says owner of Buzzfeed.
Jaylee Gray
Personally, I think our writing should remain as formal as possible. Using a lot of slang and jargon doesn't really make any paragraphs or sentences sound educational whatsoever. The evolution of the writing is okay because as time goes by it pretty much fits those generations. It sounds and looks better to keep the writing formal though. Not as much abbreviations or illiterate writing.
Leivin Martinez
Our written language should remain formal to a certain extent. Formal language has a time where it should be used such as when writing letters and/or emails to professors, doctors, schools etc. Informal or slang writitng should have more use when communicating with friends through texts or posts on social media. The evolution of writing and it becoming informal is good thing because it allows people who may not be as skilled in writing as others to express their own thoughts and feelings. Many people may need the help of vulgar language to describe the intensity of their feelings while in formal writing, this would smiply not be allowed or correct. Writings evolution in to infomality is a good thing as long as it it used under the correct circumstances.
Anna Moll
As society is evolving so is the English language. Day by day new words and phrases are being invented. Teens and adults each talk very differently because they grew up in different tie periods. English 40 years ago was not nearly like how it is today. A lot of people now aren't grammatically correct when talking to texting. This has become a problem for teenagers that are applying to colleges or attempting to get a job. Employers look to see if you have good or poor English and majority of the time they will disregard your application if you have typing or spelling errors on it. The evolution of English has not been beneficial to everyone and needs to be improved.
Sean M Donaldson
Our language has been changing over time, with the new technology and that is ok. People still do use normal language a majority of the time, which is good in professional sentences. However, over text, people have started to use shortened words to make texting easier and save more time. The evolution of language is for sure a good thing, as long as new forms of language are being used in the appropriate setting.
Bryce Weatherford
English is an ever-changing language that is spoken throughout the world. English formality is important to the language. It is needed to teach people English that doesn't naively speak it, it is used in important documents to get a clear message across, and people use it for important speeches and lectures. The evolution of English is important. Cultures change and language is a part of culture. English should remain formal in settings where speaking informally is inappropriate. Otherwise, it shouldn't matter whether you speak informally or formally.
Allison Peralta
The written language should remain as formal as it is now. Internet slang is acceptable, but should stay online. Slang should stay online, for the informal writing can cause confusion. Evolution of the written language is inevitable, and it is not harmful. If anything, the evolution of the written language can be beneficial.
Alyssa Futrell
Our English language should not have to remain very formal. English in today's environment involves slang and words made up for certain reasons. You should be able to get a sentence done to a friend without using correct grammar and following our languages rules. However, in English class and when speaking to people of authority this formal way of speaking should come into play. It depends on when you were born if this evolution is okay, different generations have different ways of speaking.
Julia E Bollier
Our written language should remain fairly formal. Writing formally is a way of showing skill and knowledge and is respected by colleges and schools everywhere. Formal writing is important when taking tests like the ISTEP, ACT, PSAT and ACT. In those formats informal writing is not accepted. Although writing should remain fairly formal, evolution is okay and accepted. Without change our formal writing will become too old to understand or completely out of date. Take for example the word "bitch" at an earlier time this word was just used to describe a female dog but now using that word in formal writing is completely unacceptable. This evolution also applies to words like "gay" which awhile back just meant happy. This evolution of formal writing cannot be stopped and so it should be accepted.
Kyla Terry
Our formal writing shouldn't remain as formal as it was when it was first written. It's evolution just evolved with the rest of us so, it seems more normal to us now than it would've when it was created and the formal language would seem weird to us now rather than it did then. So, the way you think of it's evolution just really depends on the time period you came from. Considering what we write most of the time is informal already, it seems it's the easiest way for us to be able to understand each other. We're not good with formal language anyway so, it'd most likely be better for us if we were to learn it in our early stages while we're still in school so we can have the ability to be able to use it properly and when it's needed.
Elise Fuchs
Our language should stay semi-formal with how generations are evolving with time. Our texts and our slang has become so common to us here that when were writing we forget about the school formal writing. Since this some of us can't write to an English teachers standard most the time because of this lack of knowledge about grammar, spelling, and punctuation. It's always okay to evolve and it might be inevitable to evolve, but some things taught in school are taught for a reason and should remain. In school we might need to stray away from integrating our "at home language' v.s our "at school language."
Baylee Crase
formal language's change over the years to informal language is acceptable to a point. informal language has become extremely helpful as technology has progressed and evolved over the years because it allows humans to communicate in a simple, fast, and efficient way. However informal writing is not always an ideal form of writing. When speaking in terms of essays, books, documents, ect. knowledge of formal writing comes in hand. Informal writing has it's advantages with new social media platforms, but it is in ones best interest to not dismiss learning formal writing as it still holds purpose in today's world.
Allison Herr
The evolution of modern language is inevitable among the population given the environment of social media; however, formal writing should still be developed and practice regardless in a professional setting. Most patients would prefer doctors who have constant knowledge over current, intelligent medical journals to enhance their practice of medicine or else the patient would fear surgery. There is in fact a time and a place for informal writing, but this style would hinder the development of formal writing and therefore should be practiced less. People who do not hold a professional career that requires formal language should still practice formal language because this skill increases the value of citizens in which accumulates to a progressive society.
Abigayle Snyder
In today's society communication can be informal and spontaneous. A long time ago writers were timid to write because of the stigma English had. Writing used to be a formal process of perfection that most students were afraid of. English has evolved, in today's world people write constantly. Social media participants write on Twitter, Instagram, and Snap Chat everyday. Writing used to involve sitting down with a pen and paper and today English is more accessible, all we need is our phone. The evolution of writing is a positive thing because now people are able to easily get their thoughts and opinions into the world without the stigma of formally writing.
Bethanie Lynch
Writing is a form of expression. People use their writing to express how they feel by using their words. If the way that they write is set to a specific standard, such as being formal and following the "rules" of formal English, then the writing they do is not truly what they think or feel. In the article 'Because Internet' it states that "we learned to write with the paralyzing fear of red ink." This statement expresses how much people fear critisism of their writing, so they do not truly write what they want. So, if writers are forced to write a certain way, and in this case following the format to "formal writing" is their writing really their own? If they are forced to write within stipulations, then they are not free to completely express themselves through their writing and it loses it's expression.
Elias J Courter
Written language should be always changing even though formal language is important. The modern day "slang" is vital to today is because it is the way the younger generation communicates with the internet being a major influencer to that change. From the article of the week that author states that "Writing has become viral, conversational part of ordijnary lives." The reason that author included this in article is because they recognizes the imoprtance that new types of writing. Some might be thinking that formal writing should be the universal way to writing, but if writing stays the same throughout the generations then who is to say that that is the only thing that shouldn't change. Thats like saying that society should change.
Tyler Hammonds
Our formal language should remain as it's own thing used as it is needed for letters and formal occasions but written language itself used for communication between two "friends" or individuals shouldn't have to be formal and extremely up-tight. Talking to one another is not looked at as a formal act where you have to say words in a certain way and you can not use slang, it is used in a comfortable manner and people talk in a relaxed way. This is how our written language should be when we are in this mood but formal also has it's place when it comes to the written world in form of proper letters and welcoming notes to new people or a co worker. It's evolution is good and it shows how our world is changing to accept new things and allow people to be comfortable with themselves in the way they talk or act. I personally believe that our written language is evolving for the best.
Jada Compton
Over the years there has been many changes to the American speech and writing. Taking letters to emails and further into texting. As the way individuals speak and communicate the question "How formal should formal writing be" has arose. Formal writing is called formal because the context and style it is written. Informal writing may be everyday speech but when talking to those in higher professions the formality should always be traditional. Formal writing is for when one is in a place of order or an executive setting. Formal writing shows the level of professionality separating the ignorant and the educated.
cierra parish
Based on the article of the week, writing in today's society should be able to evolve but when doing this not change completely and simplify down to texting vocabulary. If society were to let writing evolve writing may become more comfortable for students. Right now writing is looked at as a scary thing when it shouldn't be. Writing is a way that students and writers can express their feelings and thoughts. In the article it states that a blank page is intimidating and leads to less confidence in young writers. This is because writing is looked at based on format mostly overlooking what is actually important the thoughts and feelings of the writer. If writing could be simplified overlooking format issues young writers could easily express themselves better without worry. It is important in today's society to teach a mix of both formal and informal writing to stay away from very formal writing and what you would see in a text. Some may be afraid to loosen up on rules in fear of forgetting formal writing but that's why a mix is the best options for writers today.
Ja'Shaun Pace
Our writing doesn't need to be completely formal. It should remain slightly formal in the sense of it being professional. Many of the younger generation in today's society have trouble with assignments or other things that require them to express whats on their mind or writing a prompt. They have great ideas but in their brains its informal and can't translate it to formal. Many teachers argue that students should be able to convert it to a formal prompt. English has developed for over 1,400 years and since then it has evolved so it's fine for the evolution of english to occur
Kimber WIlkerson
Our written language should remain relatively formal. Without certain grammar tools, like proper spelling and puncuation, understanding what you are reading becomes difficult. This can cause confusion between groups of people. Some people might say that not being as formal creates a sense of comfort in people, but this would only get them used to using this type of language, further devolving our language.
Avin Tracy
The written language we choose to use should remain formal to an extent. As the generations pass, the language is getting shorter and the words have multiple meanings. When younger individuals talk with one another through text they use slang and improper grammar. Though that is okay, but when writing important things such as essays, emails, college applications, etc. formal writing is a necessity. Even though educators inform teens to be formal in these, they are not familiar with the grammatically correct portion since they choose not to use it in their everyday life. It would be in the best interest for the evolution of written language to remain formal so the generations to come will be educated and have the tools to succeed.


Hamilton House is a senior living and memory care facility we designed and built for Tukka Properties in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Tukka and their operations manager, Tealwood, requested an architectural design to fit with its beautiful rural surroundings which include many red barns and pastoral scenes. The plans are full of details with key specifics in mind such as barnwood timbers, a metal windmill above a fireplace, reclaimed wood shutters, paint colors from the 30s, and now a beautiful quilt to hang in the memory care lounge.
The quilt maker is our staffer, Jean Spataro. Jean works as a project assistant and has been with Iconica for four years. She is also a talented crafter, who loves to quilt. Tukka commissioned Jean to make a quilt for the home.

"Democracy in Paraguay is here to stay: Mercosur and Unasur have become irrelevant"
Thursday, April 18th 2013 - 21:39 UTC
Full article 62 comments
Interim ambassador Caballero Aquino said Venezuelan President Maduro is 'persona non grata'
A picture with President Mujica for Liberal presidential candidate Efraín Alegre
"We're optimistic about Sunday's election and the future of Paraguay if we can agree on long term state policies, but something is for certain: democracy in Paraguay is here to stay" said Ricardo Caballero Aquino, Chargé d'affaires of the Paraguayan embassy in Montevideo who was also positive about future relations with Unasur and Mercosur.
In an interview with MercoPress interim ambassador with a long journalist and writer's experience said Paraguay is going through an exceptional period of democratic consolidation, of transparency, freedom of expression and of the press which augur a good future for the country's institutions and strongly supported by an extraordinary performance of the economy which is forecasted to expand between 12% and 15% this year.
On Sunday 3.5 million Paraguayans will be voting for a new president, vice-president, 45 senators, 80 Lower house members, 17 governors and 18 representatives to the Mercosur parliament.
The main candidates are Horacio Cartes from the hegemonic Colorado party that for decades dominated the country and Efrain Alegre from the Liberals who with their former ally ex-bishop Fernando Lugo defeated for the first time in 2008, the divided Colorado block.
"The presidential election is going to be closer than what the polls have been suggesting, but this is positive because be it with the return of the (conservative) Colorados or the continuity of the Liberals, it is a return to traditional Paraguayan politics with a great difference: the communications explosion, the social networks which establish limits and even controls to whoever is in office; our vices and sins from our traditional way of making politics won't be easy, they will change, are changing and the new generations are growing in a scenario of freedoms", said Caballero Aquino.
Precisely "this week's visit of (Liberal) candidate Alegre to Uruguay for a picture with President Jose Mujica, was to try and influence the still undecided voters, mostly young educated who tend to prefer a left-leaning candidate, and Mujica is good for that".
The interim ambassador also talked about the previous government of Fernando Lugo who was removed from office in June 2012 following impeachment and replaced by Vice-president Federico Franco, which led to Mercosur and Unasur claims of 'parliament coup' and suspended Paraguay until the next general election, April 21.
"This 'leftish' experience was enough for the Paraguayan electorate which is mostly a conservative society. Lugo did not show persistence, he never understood the presidency and was left on his own when the tried to ignore political agreements and had a complacent attitude towards the invasion of private land and some extremist groups", he added.
"Imagine, organized groups with families, allegedly peasants, turn up cut fences, invade and occupy private property and then Army trucks would arrive with food for the occupants. And in the Curuguaty tragedy which triggered Lugo's removal, the police force that went to negotiate the evacuation was unarmed and it was known that the squatters had guns, and then happened what happened (18 dead). The people said enough; the Paraguayan people do not tolerate killings, massacres. In '99 we had a similar situation, we suffered the "March massacre" and that government also collapsed".
Regarding the extremist groups, the so called Paraguayan People's Army, EPP, their actions are controlled and very limited, and "links with the Colombian FARC guerrillas have been proven: the EPP would send them a percentage of the ransom booty from kidnaps for 'strategic advice', but the Paraguayan government now has support from the Colombian government and in this field they are the best".
Caballero Aquino also recalled that this and other groups benefited from certain reluctance from the Lugo government to take action against them since they had close links with "Chavism" organizations and Venezuela was supplying Paraguay with oil in what were considered favourable conditions.
"These extremist groups with some church support talk about combating the Paraguayan oligarchy but they don't know what they are talking about: in Paraguay there is no oligarchy or families with long tradition like in Peru and Chile; here fortunes last two generations, at the most three", said the Paraguayan diplomat.
Regarding Sunday's vote Caballero Aquino anticipated they would be peaceful with all guarantees, "there might have been some fist blows but that belongs to the campaign".
Besides "we have as observers of the election three 'Nobel prizes', the OAS, the European Union and the Carter Centre…plus a former Peruvian prime minister in representation of Unasur".
At first the Paraguayan government was not convinced of allowing observers from Unasur after all "they said and ill-said about Paraguayan democracy, but finally opted to let them in. This despite the fact we had 'Chacho Alvarez' around here as a 'visiting companion' collecting information on our democracy, the same man who said the Venezuelan election was impeccable, and then CELAC (Community of Latinamerican and Caribbean states) that supposedly sponsor democracy and have free democratic Cuba as their chair".
Caballero Aquino also anticipated that in Sunday's election, and in the future, the country will not use the Brazilian electronic vote system and will return to the old ballot registry, with all the additional paper work and guarantees because "it is notorious that tracking and errors have been detected in Venezuela and even the US with the electronic experience".
As to the day after Sunday's election the Paraguayan diplomat was positive about future relations with Mercosur and Unasur.
"At the start we were concerned, disappointed by the scornful attitude of Mercosur and Unasur towards Paraguay" and the arguments alleged for suspending the country from the two groups and calling it a 'parliamentary coup' against Lugo in a summary trial.
"There was nobody that could rescue Lugo and the impeachment was not a summary trial: he had three days for his defence and even if he had had a hundred days he would have been equally removed as the Senate warned him, and 120 out of 125 votes is unquestionable".
Not only was the magnitude and dreadful management of the situation leading to the killings at Curuguaty, but Lugo also, after the incident wanted to impose his own Security minister, an outsider, without consulting the Liberal coalition and he didn't want to respect the original agreement and alternation: in 08 the coalition would support a left wing candidate (Lugo) and in 2013, a Liberal (Efrain Alegre).
"Naturally the Liberals withdrew their support and he crashed into his own isolation".
However, "we believe that with Unasur and Mercosur we can approach the situation, including the incorporation of Venezuela to Mercosur, which Paraguay considers illegitimate, although we must also say that Unasur worldwide is irrelevant and Mercosur has become a political club, a playing turf for Brazil and Argentina".
Caballero Aquino then went on to reveal that at one point President Franco contemplated abandoning these groups, but as good neighbours the idea was left aside even when the decision has been taken to approach the Pacific Alliance with Chile, Peru, Colombia and Mexico.
"The incorporation of Venezuela to Mercosur was done with forceps, because of Paraguay's suspension and it is not that dramatic after all since to make it legitimate you need the approval of the Paraguayan Senate, which I believe under the new circumstances, without Chavez who was the main objection, it can be accomplished with a new protocol and a renewed (Paraguayan) senate as of next July first", pointed out the interim ambassador.
He added that the incorporation of Venezuela to Mercosur "was an obsession of Chavez, to be president of the group, because in all the other issues they are not complying, for example they do not sign the sessions' minutes and they even missed the first meeting with the technical groups to discuss products and tariffs. Venezuela's interest is somewhere else. Brazil wanted to ensure its huge public works contracts, but that is all".
Nevertheless Caballero Aquino was emphatic as to Venezuelan President-elect Nicolas Maduro, "there is no possible understanding with him: we have him on video and on record calling our armed forces top officers and inciting them to get out to the streets in support of Lugo when the Senate was voting his removal and replacement by vice-president Franco".
Maduro at the time: June 2012 was Foreign minister and together with other Mercosur peers travelled to Asunción in support of Lugo and threatening reprisals if he was removed.
"Chavez with his ups and downs could have had a special affection for Lugo, but for us Maduro is persona non grata".
Caballero Aquino said that what really matters for Paraguay "is the acknowledgement of the European Union because during all this time negotiations with Mercosur have been suspended or frozen and they have now announced that Mercosur for next December should have its list of products to exchange ready".
This is a clear recognition to Paraguay and its role as a full member of Mercosur.
"We are grateful to the EU in all this process, and at the same time must admit that Mercosur has its problems, while the current attitudes of Brazil and Argentina persist. Although it is not clear at this stage if Brazil or rather Sao Paulo industrial hub really wants to continue with the group" affirmed Caballero Aquino.
Finally the interim ambassador revealed that he is organizing the celebration of Paraguay's national Independence Day next May 15 at the Mercosur building in Montevideo and was also grateful to Uruguayan cattle farmers' contribution to the improvement of livestock in his country.
"There are many Uruguayan ranchers who have moved to Paraguay and they are excellent cattle breeders and they've come with all their technology and this will be a great help to develop our cattle industry".

Graduate Artist Talks | Ashling Smith, Emma Hopkins, Olivia Normile
Posted byOrmond Art Studios October 10, 2018 Posted inArtist Talks, Artists Talks, Award, Events, Graduate, Graduate Residency, Ormond Studios 2018
Join us on Tuesday 16th October at 7pm for an evening of talks by shortlisted artists from our Graduate Award, Ashling Smith and Emma Hopkins, alongside Graduate Award Recipient, Olivia Normile. This is a free event.
Ashling Smith is an emerging Digital Media Artist and Creative Designer whose practice encompasses video, photography, sound and sculpture. She graduated in 2018 with an Honours Degree in Creative Digital Media from the Institute of Technology, Blanchardstown. Her degree show 'Vision' attracted particular attention and won her Draíocht's inaugural 'Creative Digital Media Award' which will lead to a solo exhibition as part of 'Platform 2019′ in Draiocht. Primarily concerned with a combination of digital media and large-scale sculpture, Ashling's practice incorporates still and moving imagery, sound, and vocal testimony, She is interested in gathering personal narratives that explore the boundary of the real and the imagined in relation to specific communities and places. Interviews and conversations with people working in various professions become a catalyst for developing digital installations that explore the relationship between time and memory, place and identity. Her work is immersive and meditative.
Olivia Normile graduated with a BA in Visual Arts from IADT in 2018. She was longlisted for the RDS Visual Arts Awards and is the recipient of the Ormond Studios Graduate Award 2018. Olivia's work explores the space and boundaries between image, object and idea. Surface tensions recur in her work evident through a rough, agitated quality to edges and appearances. Through combining handmade objects with animated forms of themselves, she attempts to expose an unseen tension and quiet dialogue between the definite and unseen. By capturing the motions of making and transforming them into solid 'stills', she reveals lone moments within a process. In turn, private environments and passageways form for these animated moments to exist and survive. Developing an affinity for unassuming yet prevailing characters in various narratives, she is drawn to the influences they have on their surroundings. Somewhat lowly, humble creatures who contain traces of divinity, existing on the threshold between reality and unknown depths. This dialogue between the physical and the fleeting is revealed through repetitious mark-making, extracted to become singular and static.
Emma Hopkins' work explores the everyday spaces we inhabit and the spatial practices we produce in them. It arises from her interest in how architects and planners think about space in three dimensions. This has lead to the creation of installations that adapt and change in scale depending upon the interior architecture of a particular place. Emma also use photography to document different spaces, domestic and industrial. This is an aid for the structures she creates which use the language of painting to communicate elements of interior and exterior spaces. The idea of 'construction-deconstruction-reconstruction' is an important part of her work as each society is producing and reproducing space to meet new needs and functions. Therefore, she is interested in how language is used to describe specific spaces and spatial practices. Language also allows us to imagine the body in a space. As there is already a mental image associated to the word 'kitchen', for example, there is an expectation of how such a space is used: how our bodies move around that space, the specific objects and structures inhabiting this space. Emma sees all of these elements as contributions to what she calls "performing space".

Victoria Anthony: Never Stop
Victoria Anthony became an internet sensation in 2018 after singing her heart out to her idol, PINK, in front of 18,000 spectators at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. PINK whispered in her ear to "never stop," igniting Victoria's passion to pursue her now skyrocketing career. In just a year, with dedication and hard work, she has released two singles that have had enormous success. Her latest release, "Because I'm A Girl", was co-written alongside the Toronto songwriting duo Rob Wells and Shobha, who have worked the likes of Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Nelly Furtado, and many others.
While there is an artful and immediately memorable pop vibe to Victoria's original music, there is also lyrical depth and a soulfulness that is reminiscent of more recent work by her idol PINK. Victoria has a passion for empowering individuals to step out of their comfort zone and be who they truly are.
Thursday, July 25 will be a creative outlet for Victoria to carry the message to 'Never Stop' to her fans. – "I want people, especially other female artists, to see that you don't have to go the traditional route to follow your dreams." (Victoria Anthony)
Join us for a fun night with Victoria's original songs and surprises that will genuinely empower everyone in the audience and make you want to jump out of your seat and dance!

This app might win the award for most clever app name of 2012. Bang On is a DuckDuckGo search app for your iPhone that will set you back $1.99. Say what?! Doesn't DuckDuckGo already have a free search app? Yep, it does — Bang On is better.
Ever wanted to say "search for Bob Dylan on Pandora" and have it work? Yeah. Bang On does that.
Huh. I don't use Pandora, but now I am intrigued.
Bang On uses DuckDuckGo's ! syntax to search specific sites. Now that can be a pain to type, so Bang On has hot keys that you can tap to add in these syntaxes. This is neat, but not Earth shattering.
Where Bang On shines is in two areas: customization and voice.
With Bang On you can setup custom ! bang searches that are not a 'normal' part of the DuckDuckGo search engine. For example this site isn't a part of the DuckDuckGo bang search syntax, but in Bang On, it is. So you can type: blue icons !brooksreview into Bang On and it will result in a Brooks Review specific search for blue icons.
That's pretty cool, but of course I am not naive enough to assume that you want to search this site all that often. I do however, bet there is more than a few sites that you want to search often though, and with Bang On you can create a custom bang to do just that.
The second cool feature is voice support (iPhone 4S only). When you hit the dictation/microphone button on iOS and say: "search for blue icon on Brooks Review" — well it does just that with a site specific search.
Which is what really makes this app killer for me. Say I am holding my daughter and want to search for something that I am thinking about or heard on the TV ('wasn't that actor in X'), well I can do it all one handed, and on the site I want to, with Bang On.
Bang On is a universal app and is $1.99 in the App Store — if you like searching on iOS, then this is almost required.

"Bino & Fino" will educate Afro-Brazilian children about their African roots.
Talks about diversity in the entertainment industry very rarely include children's programming, but a new crowdfunding campaign is attempting to change that.
Adamu Waziri, an animator based in Abuja, Nigeria, has created the concept for a new show that would introduce Brazilian children to African characters in an animated series called "Bino & Fino."
The idea for "Bino & Fino" had been gestating in Waziri's mind for years, he said, until he finally came up with a concrete concept for the cartoon in 2008. The animator told The Huffington Post he wanted to do a Nigerian based cartoon for a long time because he noticed that all the shows Nigerian children watched were foreign and had little to no representation of black Africans.
"Basically the world's largest black nation doesn't produce any cartoon shows for its children that reflected any of its culture or population," Waziri told HuffPost.
"That sounded crazy to me."
"Bino & Fino," is a children's cartoon starring a brother and sister in a modern day city in Africa. Thus far, Waziri and his team have released two English-language DVD sets and a toy range for the educational show, which teaches children about the history of Africa. And now, they want to take it beyond the African continent and bring the show to the children of Brazil.
Bino & Fino are adorable and educational.
"It was English speaking Brazilian fans of the show that made us fast-track our plans to create a Brazilian Portuguese-dubbed version," Waziri says.
"They kept asking us if and when we would do a Portuguese version for them. That prompted us to look into the children's media landscape in Brazil."
What Waziri found was that despite Brazil having the largest African descendant population outside of Africa, "this crucial link wasn't being shown or taught to the children of Brazil."
Race in Brazil has always been a fairly delicate topic. While the country has prided itself in the past as being "colorblind," black Brazilians still face discrimination and disenfranchisement. Education through children's media is a way to combat this early on.
"African history and culture is not being fully represented in their children's media, let alone people of African descent," Waziri says.
And so, Waziri and his team have launched an IndieGogo campaign that will help them work with professional international dubbing companies that specialize in animation work. In the video, above, the team explains that with a $5,000 goal, their hope is to have a new Brazilian version of the show ready for fans by November.
For Waziri, the introduction of "Bino & Fino" to a wider Brazilian audience is a no brainer, and it's important.
"Children love cartoons. It is a powerful media tool that entertains and educates them," he explains. "Right now across the black African diaspora and on the African continent there are few cartoon shows that specifically showcase, teach about and positively, genuinely portray the Africa in any way. This means that during their formative years children are not getting good educational and entertaining content that reflects them and their heritage. Most of what they get is European, Asia or America-centric. This is a problem because the balance is too one-sided."
And bringing a Portuguese version of "Bino & Fino" to Brazilian children is just the first step for him so that he can start the process of hopefully balancing this disparity. The makers of the show have plans to create books, too, and to dub the cartoon into more languages so that more families within the black diaspora can experience it around the world. Hopefully, Waziri and his team succeed because what they're doing is an important reminder that the issue of representation effects us all, globally.

We often think of gratitude as something we give to another as a thank you for a gift or a kind deed, an appreciation for someone's presence in our lives. But why not allow ourselves to see it as a gift for ourselves, as well? Someone once said that love is the most selfish thing we can do for ourselves, meaning that we have the opportunity to get so much out it, receiving exponentially more in return than we give. And the same is true of gratitude. In the giving, we automatically receive tenfold and that is true grace.
It's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day rush of things we need to get done. We each have our lists of what we need to accomplish today, so that everything that throws us off our schedule becomes more than just an unexpected event but a challenge to our goals that we must battle into submission. The car cutting us off in traffic, the slow person checking out at the grocery store or the chatty neighbor who waylays us on our way to the house can either be hindrances or help depending on how we choose to experience them.
The car cutting you off and making you miss the light gives you those few extra minutes on your way to work to set intentions for the day and arrive energized and focused. The person taking his time at the grocery checkout allows you to strike up a conversation and make a connection. The neighbor who always wants to talk reminds us of the value of community when someone is willing to check on your house while you're gone or loan you a lawn mower when yours goes out. Suddenly, the day that could have felt hassled and harried is a day full of small gifts and kindnesses- gifts that you gave yourself by being in gratitude.
The grace of gratitude is not a grace that we must ask to be bestowed upon us by some outside force. This kind of grace is an inside job and well within our power to grant to ourselves by allowing the goodness and richness of life in everything. This season, grace yourself with the gift of gratitude, and its effects will radiate out far beyond what you can see.
