Culture Queens

Since we're both seniors, we took the time this week to sit down with two JMU grads who are facing the challenges of the real world during a pandemic head on. From finding their way in the arts world to moving to the Big Apple, Emily Dean and Dustyn Bain share how they've found success after school.

This week we're sitting down with one of our friends and Breeze coworkers, Tristan Lorei, who also happens to be a world traveler. He tells us some crazy stories from his many trips and we share some of our own experiences with going out of the country and experiencing different cultures. Buckle up!

This week, we sat down to chat about our love/hate relationships with our bodies and the societal pressures we’ve noticed that have shaped how we feel about ourselves. This is a topic that’s near and dear to our hearts and something we’ve both struggled with and are slowly overcoming. We hope that you find some helpful strategies for accepting and loving your body the way it is and know that you’re never alone!

This week we dragged our boyfriends onto the show to talk about how we met, how we balance school, friends, and a relationship, plus what it’s like being in a long-term relationship in college. Tune in for some good stories and lots of laughs.

This week, we sit down with The Breeze's copy editor and TV show reviewer, Kira Baldau. We talk about the latest on television and Kira recommends some of her favorite shows on major streaming services.

This week, we’re sitting down with one of our coworkers and friends, Jillian Carey. Jillian’s college experience has been a little bit different than most, and we talk with her about her decision to enlist in the Army, plus the joys of living with Kailey!

This week, the Culture Queens chat with Kailey’s younger sister, Julia Cheng, and talk about what it’s like to come in as a freshman during COVID-19. Then, Ryann and Kailey blast to the past and share some of their own freshman year stories. Yes, some of them are crazy.

This week, we’ll help you chill out. With all-day PJs becoming the norm and the Sunday Scaries getting scarier than ever thanks to COVID-19, we’re here to keep you organized and find some zen.

In this introduction, you’ll get to know a little bit more about us and how our lives were changed by COVID-19. We’ll discuss anxieties around losing important summer jobs and what’s currently bringing us joy.
