Pepsi "BLM Movement" Commercial

In April of 2017, the Pepsi Ad including Kendall Jenner blew up across social media and the news. Many memes and backlash occurred after Pepsi released the controversial ad. In the ad, a protest was occurring and Kendall Jenner at the end grabs a Pepsi and hands it to the officers and the protest is over and celebrated. I believe that Kendall Jenner was in the wrong but people didn't focus on the advertisement as a whole. During the protests, even before Kendall Jenner joined in, people were running and jumping and smiling while protesting for Black Lives Matter. I thought that controversy should also be focused on them because never have I seen a protest occur that people were running with signs with a huge smile on their face. I know that Kendall Jenner was criticized the most because she was the big name in the advertisement but I believe the other actors be held accountable too.

I ended up making the varsity team.  It was nerve racking being with all juniors and seniors based on not knowing a lot of them very well at first. I felt the need to prove myself at every opportunity to show that I deserved to really be there. I ended up finding my place as a power forward based on

All the friends people have on Facebook, around ten of them actually have an impact on your life. This statement really impacted me. Never have a really thought about that but compared to my life, I have 2,702 Facebook friends and I completely agree with this statement. Being a kid you want to friend people you know and have heard of but I probably have 15 friends on Facebook that I really care about that know what is really going on in my life. The three tier are core, operational, and outer network. I see myself as the operational. I am someone that likes to make my own decisions and have creative control . Being creative is a strong suite for based on me wanting to always come up new ideas and styles. I like to have freedom over my ideas and work but like to get constructional feedback. I own all rights to these photos   The people that are my core people in my life out of the thousands people I claim are my "friends"
