This episode of Veteran Et Cetera examines the US Marine Corps' 18 month study conducted by the University of Pittsburgh in 2020.  The media has been presenting the study with myths that have caused political division in the military with fears of a "wokeism" in the military.  There was a 2015 study sponsored by the US Dep of Defense but riddled with many scholars claiming that it was biased. The study was never signed off by Military top leadership. It was not dated, etc.  The 2020 study has more reputable scholars tied to an evidence-based , peer-reviewed research study to understand the challenges and the present state of gender integration for US Marine Boot Camp.  The Marine Corps due to legislation must integrate boot camp by 2025.  Your host Mike Kim goes beyond Marine Corps Times and New York Post headlines. Links:https://nypost.com/2022/12/22/marines-may-ban-sir-and-maam-to-avoid-misgendering/https://www.marinecorpstimes.com/news/your-marine-corps/2022/12/20/why-the-marine-corps-may-nix-gender-identifiers-for-drill-instructors/https://www.pitt.edu/pittwire/accolades-honors/pitt-researchers-to-study-gender-integrated-recruit-training-military-settingsFollow Mike on his LinkedIn pageFollow Mike on Instagram @mikekimveteranSearch for Mike on Facebook @MikeKimVeteranSearch for Mike at #mikekimveteran or Google him at "Mike Kim Veteran"Email Mike at agathoskim@gmail.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellbehindtheservice Instagram @cominghomewell_bts Facebook at Coming Home Well LinkedIn at Coming Home Well Twitter @ComingHomeWell

This is my advice to those preparing for Marine Corps Boot Camp, or really any other basic training/academy type of structure that you are about to enter. But maybe you aren't going into any of that at all... that's totally fine, just listen, enjoy and take something away from this. Being a Warrior is more than wearing a uniform and we need real Warriors more than ever in this country. Men need to be Warriors, and honestly there is much less physicality associated with it than our culture would care to admit. Whatever your disability, ability, age, being a Warrior is truly a heart issue.  This episode was inspired by my admiration for a young man I know who is about to go into the Marine Corps. I know with all my heart that he will do so well and make us all proud. I have watched him grow up over the last 4 years and it has been a joy to have been a part of his life. He is truly a man of God, a Servant of the King, and a Warrior in the footsteps of King David. S.C.-- This one is for you brother. Semper Fi.

I wrote this poem in Marine Corps Boot Camp. I was deeply touched on the first Sunday as we stood at attention by our footlockers while my Drill Instructor read off the times and places of the different religious services. I fought, to no avail, to keep the tears from streaming down my face as I contemplated the significance of that moment. Our near peer adversary, China, is seeking to destroy diversity of thought and belief. Currently, pictures of Christ are being burned and replaced with pictures of the Chinese supreme ruler, and 350 concentration camps are filled with 1-3 million Uyghur Muslims who are being “re-educated.”The fact that we can believe whatever we want, especially while serving in the armed forces, is not only a right, but a privilege. I love The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I love the United States Constitution, and I love being a Marine. Enjoy the poem.BLOOD, FREEDOM, SALVATION What good is His Gospel if it can't be read?What good is His word if it can't be said?The Bread of Life hidden by the tyrant's hand;Thus, a covenant people need a covenant land.Remember, the blood of thousands established this free nation,So that the blood of One may bring salvation.One nation under God radiates an abundance of light,But only the naive would say that we have finished the fight.For the fallen star seeks to pull down the rest,As he stirs up the hearts of armies and navies and false priests who oppress.With the Lord on our side, the war can only be won,Yet, we need more righteous men and women to get the job done.Now, who has the courage to answer the call?For it is the sacrifices of a few that bring freedom for all.

It's been called “the Marine Corps Boot Camp of lawyering” and ranked by Princeton Review as “arguably the best training ground in the nation for practical lawyering.” Baylor Law's legendary Practice Court celebrated its 100th anniversary last year, and in this Baylor Connections, two Baylor Law faculty and graduates examine what make it so special. Brad Toben, Dean and M.C. & Mattie Caston Chair of Law and Gerald Powell, Abner V. McCall Professor of Evidence and a longtime director of the Practice Court, reflect on its impact and share stories to take listeners inside the experience.

On this week's 51%, A Marine Corps Boot Camp in California opens to women; a writer discusses what she calls America's obsession, breasts and women make some progress among Oscar nominees. (more…)

The first time that I traveled to California was to attend Marine Corps Boot Camp! For three whole months, I endured some of the most grueling training in the US military. Though there was one moment during boot camp that stands out in my memory. And it happened during the most difficult training event that Marine Corps Recruits face. That event is called... The Crucible. A rigorous 54-hour long challenge designed to push recruits beyond their physical and mental limits. But at the end of it all, they become Marines! During this insane year that has been 2020. We've all faced our own crucibles. In this episode of Travel Reflections, I talk about how I made it through the Crucible of Marine Corps Boot Camp. And how the lessons that I've learned from that experience could help you overcome your own crucible that you may be facing! Also, check out my appearance on The Profane Humanities Podcast that I mentioned in this episode! And check out the video version of this episode on the All-Around Adventure YouTube Channel!

There is an event in Columbus Ohio every February since 1989 called The Arnold. Also known as the Arnold Schwarzenegger Sports Festival if features competitions in professionals bodybuilding, strongman, fitness, figure and bikini competitions over a weekend. It is kind of the Olympics for those so self-absorbed they never leave the gym. We must give them some credit in this “All About Me” competition because nobody gets to this level of competition without a tremendous amount of work and a 50-gallon barrel of body oil, and Spray Tan. Even though I have been in Columbus for the past 20 Arnold’s they have not changed me for the better at all. If someone could get in shape by simply wanting to be in shape, then so many more people would have healthier bodies. This is true in so many areas.  If you want to be good at anything you have to work at it. Now there are some people who have unique giftedness like, LeBron James, Christiano Ronaldo, Tiger Woods, and Tom Brady. Mozart began picking out tunes on the piano at age 3 and began composing at the age of 4. Michael Phelps is the most decorated Olympian of all time with 28 medals. Sure, these are people who are gifted far beyond us average Joe’s but none of them would even be known outside their families if they did not put in a tremendous amount of work. They practiced and worked at their skills for hours, days, and years on end to hone those skills and because of that work they became world-class achievers in their field. The only way for us to achieve freedom from our sexual brokenness and addiction is we must move from wanting it to working for it.  As Alcoholic Anonymous says; “The program works if you work the program.” In our minds when we are thinking soberly, we want freedom from sexual sin.  The problem with many of us is the only way to leave sexual addiction in the past it to walk away from it into the future.  The recovering alcoholic doesn’t stop drinking but still spends time at the bar. The junkie does not remain clean and cruise around the hood where he used to buy his smack. To leave addictive behaviors in our past we need to be moving forward into a future that is the opposite direction from continuing in addiction.  We need to do a 180. I know a lot of guys who want to do a 180, however, once they make that U-Turn instead of heading in that opposite direction they camp out in the intersection only to be tempted into doing another 180 which equals 360 and remaining in the cycle of addiction. My friends, it is not enough to just want it. In the beginning of recovery, you usually want it because something painful has happened. You are not yet ready to be wanting what lies in the opposite direction. You are just NOT wanting the pain you are in and the suffering you have caused your loved ones. So, isn’t it time for you to work at becoming a more godly man?  Imagine what it would be like not have any shame, guilt, and fear because you have no secrets.  Imagine walking around and being so much under the influence of the Spirit that sexual temptation has no allure and you no longer feel it pulling on your desires. Can you envision yourself as a loving, patient, joyful, kind, gentle, peaceful man who is strong in self-control? How would your marriage or relationships with family and friends be better if you are living to give to others what they need instead of taking from others to try and satiate the unending hunger of your flesh? It is not enough to only want to be more like Jesus. It will take the work of actually being a disciple of Christ instead of an occasional attendee in church with sporadic attempts to have a quiet time.  I have an 8-hour quiet time each day.  It’s call sleep. What we need is activity time, practice, teamwork, and this consistently if we are going to be living like Jesus. Imagine being on the bus headed to the Marine Corps Boot Camp. The recruiter has painted you a rosy picture.

So much has changed in the world in a matter of months, but something that does not stop is our military. From the highest operations, right down to recruits working their way through boot camp, the military keeps on working. I received a troop salute from David Bond, of Buckley, Washington. His son Wyatt graduated from Marine Corps Boot Camp just last week. 12 weeks ago, this class of young recruits was stepping off the bus in a world that was only just learning about the existence of Coronavirus. And while so much changed for us on the outside, those recruits fought through the same grueling 12 weeks of training that have been building Marines since the beginning. David says, “Our son Wyatt (22) is in the final stages of becoming a US Marine. He follows in his grandpas footsteps of becoming a Marine. He is an Eagle Scout and graduated high school with his AA degree. He was a Police Explorer while in high school, we thought he would follow and join law enforcement like his dad and two brothers. He has dreamed of being a Marine his entire life and was born on the Marine Corp birthday. He has dedicated his life to serving others and recently finished a 2-year religious mission just prior to signing up for this latest adventure. Wyatt is the latest family member who will be serving in our military. We are all so grateful for his decision to make life a better place, and grateful for all those that serve! Last week Wyatt and his 1st Recruit Battalion, Alpha Company, Platoon 1006 conquered “the reaper” and had the ceremony that officially makes them Marines. Today we salute you, Wyatt Bond, for earning the title of United States Marine.

Wiping his butt with his own hand. Fist fights and drill instructor choke holds. Daniel explains his experience in Marine Corps boot camp from May 2011.

Jeremy Staat was born in Bakersfield California to his parents Harold and Janet Staat, on October 10, 1976. He is the middle child of three. As a 1994 graduate of Bakersfield High School in Bakersfield, Calif., Jeremy was a two-sport star, lettering four times in football and three times in track. As a student athlete in football and track and field; Jeremy was honored with many different awards for his efforts. In football, he was a part of a football program starting his freshman year that had a combined winning record of 41-2-1. Jeremy was one of the team captains in 1993 and was a 2-time all-Area/all-South Yosemite League first-team in football. He was named the best lineman in the South Yosemite League, earned Lineman of the Year by the Bakersfield Californian, earned a California All-State Honorable Mention, and was named as the starting left tackle for the Shrine California North/South All-Star football game.  As a track and field standout at Bakersfield High School Jeremy earned the most improved player award, and most valuable player in the south Yosemite league and was the South Yosemite League champion in the shot put and discus in 1992-93. Jeremy was the captain of the track team in 1993-94 and was selected as the Athlete of the Year by The Bakersfield  Californian in 1993-1994 and earned the California State C.I.F. champion in the discus throw. For his efforts he was named All-Area/All-South Yosemite league, named Jockey Club Athlete of the Month (April 1994), was Bakersfield High School’s Most Valuable Player in track and field in 1994, and was the recipient of the Howard Whalen Track and Field Memorial Scholarship.  After graduating high school at the age of 17, Jeremy decided that he wanted to stay local and attend Bakersfield Community College. Once again Jeremy continued his athletic endeavors by competing as a two-sport athlete while attending Bakersfield College. He was a member of 1994 and 1995 Western States Conference football championship team and was also a member of 1994 and 1995 Potato Bowl Champions, with a combined record of 20-2 and was coached by Carl Bowser and Dwayne Damron. As a freshman Jeremy played offensive tackle and tight end and earned honorable mention All-Western States Conference and was recipient of the Matt Poole Award. During the 1995-96 football seasons he was named first-team offense Western States Conference, Honorable Mention All-American by J.C. Grid wire, and earned the Bakersfield College coach’s award.  As a track and field competitor for the Bakersfield College Renegades during the 1994- 95, his freshman track season, Jeremy earned the California State Jr. College champion honor in the discus throw, he was named Western States Conference Most Valuable Player, Bakersfield College freshman athlete of the year, and Bakersfield Jockey Club athlete of the month. During Jeremy’s sophomore year at Bakersfield College he was named the Most Outstanding Male Athlete at Bakersfield College in 1995-96 served as a team captain. He also set school records in discus, 182' 4" (which still stands today) and the shot put 58' 1/4," he won the State Championship in both the discus and the shot put, becoming the first male to win two throwing events in one year. His 2nd place finish in the Hammer Throw at this State Meet made him the highest scoring athlete, EVER, at the CCCAA State Track and Field Championships. He also earned all WSC first-team honors in the discus and shot put. Won the hammer, discus, and shot put in the Southern Cal Meet of Champions; becoming the first person to win these three events in the meet's history (which still remains today). He went on to take first-place in the shot put at the National Jr. College All-American Track and Field meet earned Junior All-American status at the U.S.A. Junior National Track and Field championships. He received Cerritos College Event's top field athlete in the 1995-96 track season. He went on to compete unattached at the 1996 Sun Angel Track Classic at Arizona State University, in the shot put and discus throw (took fifth place in the shot put with a toss of 56' 3 ", which would have placed him as a provisional in the NCAA outdoor championships and took fourth in the discus throw with a mark of 180' 1 " that would have placed him as eighth all-time in ASU history. In 1996, Jeremy graduated from Bakersfield Community College in Bakersfield, Calif., with an associate degree in Criminal Justice, and in 2001 was inducted into the Bakersfield College Hall of Fame. With everything that Jeremy had completed up to this point as a student athlete he still wanted to continue with his college education and wanted to compete at the Division I level, and he decided to accept an athletic scholarship to Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.  Jeremy was extremely excited for the opportunity to play for the Arizona State SunDevils. Although he wasn’t able to be a multi-sport athlete, like he was in high school and junior college, he still gave everything he had to the football team, but still wanted to compete in the shot put and discus, but he knew that there was going to be a crossroads at some point in his athletic career and he was going to have to choose between football and track and field, and since he was on a football scholarship he knew that track and field would have to take a back seat.  During his time with the SunDevils the football team went 11-0 in 1996 for a 1997 Rose Bowl National Championship appearance where the SunDevils played the Ohio State Buckeyes and came up short in the final minutes of the game. The SunDevils went on to be ranked #4 in the Nation. During Jeremy’s senior year the SunDevils went 9-3 his senior year and won a Bowl bid to play in the Norwest SunBowl in El Paso, Texas in 1997. With the 1997 Sun Bowl Appearance, Jeremy was named the Jimmy Roger Jr's, Most Valuable player Defensive lineman of the game. He went on to earn 2nd team all-Pac 10 honors and was the 1997 Morris Trophy recipient, which was the 1st time in history that a defensive lineman from ASU won that award.  The Morris Trophy is the college football award given to the Pac 10's most valuable Offensive and Defensive lineman. Jeremy was also named a 1997, 1st team All American, by the Sporting News as well as 1st Team All-American selection by the Football Writers Association of America. He also earned four “Player of the Game” awards from ASU as a Defensive Lineman.  During the 1997 regular season he had 12.5 sacks and 23.0 total tackles-for-loss and earned another 3 sacks and X tackle for losses in the Norwest SunBowl, which gave him the single season sack record for a defensive lineman in ASU history. During his playing time at ASU Jeremy had become good friends with Pat Tillman. Pat Tillman was a standout scholar athlete who was drafted into the National Football League (NFL), played four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, and thus turned down a $4.6 million-dollar contract to join the Army Rangers and was killed in action in April of 2004.  In 1998 Jeremy was drafted in the National Football League in the 2nd round of the draft and was the 41st pick to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jeremy played three seasons with the Steelers and found that it wasn’t a good fit and decided to look at other teams within the NFL. In 2001 he signed on with the Seattle Seahawks and was released after the fifth week of training camp and returned home to Scottsdale, AZ., and begun to rethink his professional career. While waiting on another team to pick him up a national tragedy occurred that turned his attention from the NFL to national service, the event that took place was the terrorist attacks that happened on September 11, 2001. After seeing the carnage of the 9/11 attacks upon the World Trade Centers, Jeremy decided that he wanted to join the United States Army. This is when an old friend contacted Jeremy and made him promise to go back into the NFL and earn his fourth season, so that  Jeremy would be a vested player with the NFL and earn his retirement from the NFL, that friend was Pat Tillman. In the spring of 2002, Jeremy once again stepped back in to the realm of the NFL and signed on with the Oakland Raiders as an offensive guard and was released in August of 2002, Jeremy would sit out the entire 2002 season and once again would sign with a different NFL team. In 2003, Jeremy signed on with the St. Louis Rams and finally earned his fourth season in the NFL and had qualified for his NFL pension.  In 2004, Jeremy decided that after he had earned one retirement from professional athletics he should go and earn a second retirement from the Arena Football League (AFL), so in the spring of 2004 Jeremy signed on with the Los Angeles Avengers and played several games with the Avengers before hearing about the passing of his former teammate and friend Pat Tillman.  Jeremy then retired completely from professional athletics and decided to answer the call of serving his country and decided to join the United States Marine Corps. At this point he was willing to risk it all.  In 2005, Jeremy decided that it was time for him to fulfill his commitment to his country and enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and entered boot camp in December of 2005.  Jeremy entered the Marine Corps 10 years older than the average recruit. Jeremy completed his 13-week Marine Corps Boot Camp at Marine Corps Recruiting Depot San Diego (MCRD). He graduated on the same Parade Ground as did his grandfather, Herman Francis Staat, in 1941. He was then stationed with 1/3 Bravo Company of Kaneohe Bay, HI, as an Infantry Machine gunner (0331). In 2007, the 1/3 Battalion was deployed, and Jeremy found himself assigned to Haditha, Iraq for a nine-month deployment. After returning from deployment in Haditha, Iraq; Jeremy had some medical issues that needed to be addressed and was never returned to his infantry unit. In his final years with the Marine Corps Jeremy had been giving advice to Marines that were being discharged and encouraged them to get their education but realizing that he himself hadn’t finished his bachelor’s degree. Jeremy decided to return to school during his final year in the Marine Corps and earned his bachelor’s degree from Arizona State University in liberal studies.  (I can’t Praise the Arizona State University staff and its’ President high enough for their efforts to make this happen) Jeremy was discharged from Marine Corps in August of 2009. After being discharged from the Marine Corps Jeremy moved back home to Bakersfield, CA and married his fiancéé Janelle Hamilton; he began to work with local charities within the community and wanted to continue to serve and to help others. In 2010, Jeremy joined up with many local and national Veterans Organizations like: The Veteran Tickets foundation, Kern County Honor Flight, Vision 2 Victory, and Kern Vets, “Wall of Valor,” and begun to do multiple speaking engagements to help bring awareness to the different non-profits that he was helping out. In 2011 Jeremy decided to start his own foundation that focused on bringing a Veteran speaking board into the educational environment, to inspire and motivate students to do their best. After speaking to more than 150 plus schools in Kern County, California and Arizona; Jeremy then decided that it was time to take his message nationwide. In the winter of 2012, Jeremy and his team conducted a 3,468-mile cross country bicycle ride that, visited 78 cities in 16 states, focused on bring awareness to the epidemic of veteran suicide and childhood obesity.  The Wall to Wall Cross Country Bicycle Ride stated at the Wall of Valor in Bakersfield, California and traveled east across the country and ended at the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. After returning home from his cross-country endeavor Jeremy was welcomed home by the birth of his first child, a boy, that he and his wife named Tristen. After the birth of Tristen, Jeremy continued to work with his foundation and continued to deliver hundreds more motivational and inspirational speeches to schools and businesses. For his efforts, he was named the 2011 Military Order of the Purple Heart Veteran of the Year, the 2013 All Sports United Humanitarian Recipient, 2013 Beautiful Bakersfield Humanitarian of the Year Recipient, and was a 2014 Bakersfield High School Football Hall of Fame Inductee.  In 2013, Jeremy decided that he wanted to have a more stable lifestyle and decided to progress into the educational field and desired to start a trade school focusing on welding. Jeremy enrolled in classes at Bakersfield College to earn his welding degree and welding certifications; along the way, decided to apply for a job at Bakersfield College and in 2013 he began teaching full time as a welding instructor at Bakersfield College. In 2015, Jeremy and his wife welcomed their second son, Gavin. Jeremy then decided it was a must that he continued his education and began to pursue his graduate degrees. In 2016, he earned his master’s degree in educational leadership from Liberty University, and then decided that he needed to earn his Educational Specialist Degree (Ed.S.) from Liberty University as well. He is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Education (Ed.D.) degree. He plans on completing his Ed.D in the summer of 2020. In the spring of 2020, Jeremy will be inducted into the Museum of the Marine Corps Sports Hall of Fame wing that is to be open in the spring of 2020.  Education:  -Bakersfield High School- Diploma -Bakersfield College- AA- Criminal Justice -Arizona State University-BA- Liberal Studies -Liberty University- MA- Educational Leadership -Liberty University-Ed.S.- Educational Leadership -Liberty University-Ed.D.- Educational Leadership (2020)  Athletic Awards:  High School:  Football:  -1994 graduate of Bakersfield High School, Bakersfield, Calif., - 2 sport participant, lettering four times in football and three times in track. -Captained the football team in 1993. -2 time all-Area/all-South Yosemite League first-team in football. -Named best lineman South Yosemite League. -Named lineman of the year by The Bakersfield Californian. -California all-State honorable mention -Named as left tackle to the Shrine California North/South All-Star football game  Track and Field (Shot put and Discus):  -Captained the track team in 1993-94 -most improved player award -Most Valuable Player in the South Yosemite -South Yosemite League champion in the shot put and discus in 1992-93 -Athlete of the Year by The Bakersfield Californian in 1993-1994 -1994 California State C.I.F.

Both the Marine Corps Birthday and Veterans Day were this week. I had the opportunity to speak with some fellow Marines and Veterans and share stories. This lead me to think about my time in boot camp when I was 18-years-old. Needless to say... it was Hell! But as tough as it was, by the end of it I was a much stronger and more capable version of myself. And the lessons that I learned have served me well as I went on to pursue other meaningful things in my life. In this episode, I speak from the heart and share three of them with you, and I hope that they serve you well too! Thank you for listening! To hear more great episodes like this one, click here!

Today I talk with my friend and fellow podcaster, Ray Benedetti. Ray is the host and founder of the OutrageoU.S. podcast. A show in which he discusses different issues that the U.S. is currently facing. Not too long ago I was featured as a guest. When I joined him and his other host, Matt Sams, to talk about first world problems (Episode 13!). Now we are flipping the script, and Ray is joining me to talk about another thing that we share in common. Not only is he a fellow podcaster, but he's also a fellow U.S. Marine. And our decision to join the Marine Corps has led us both on an incredible adventure. One that began with a three-month long journey through the Hell that is Marine Corps Boot Camp. Though he and I set off on fairly different paths to earning the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor. Whereas I went to Boot Camp in San Diego California. Ray went to Parris Island, South Carolina. In this episode we exchange our stories. Talking about some of the funniest moments that we had. The different kinds of training that we received. The greatest challenges that we had faced. And of course, the life lessons that were learned. This was a conversation that I really enjoyed. It was great to take a walk down memory lane and reflect on what I had accomplished.

On this week's 51%, A Marine Corps Boot Camp in California opens to women; a writer discusses what she calls America's obsession, breasts and women make some progress among Oscar nominees. For the first time, the Marine Corps has fully opened both its boot camps to women. The first female recruits arrived in San Diego recently - at a camp that since 1923 had trained only men. Women will also continue to train at the Marine Corps' other facility at Parris Island, South Carolina. But integrating boot camp is just one of the hurdles in bringing gender equity to the Corps, as Steve Walsh reports for the American Homefront Project. Leslie Lehr wants to talk about boobs. She's gone from size AA to DDD and everything in between, from puberty to motherhood, enhancement to cancer, and more. And she's not alone. Lehr's new book A Boob's Life: How America's Obsession Shaped You—and Me blends her personal narrative with history, starting in the 1960s with the women's liberation movement and moving to the current feminist dialogue and what it means to be a woman. Lehr is a prize-winning author, screenwriter, and essayist. Her essays have been published in the New York Times and Huffington Post. Lehr spoke with 51%'s Elizabeth Hill about why she decided to tell her story. The 93rd Oscars are scheduled for April 25th, having been postponed from February because of the COVID-19 pandemic. And, for the first time, more than one female has been nominated in the best director category in the same year. Previously, only five women have ever been nominated for the Oscars' best director. Chloé Zhao is nominated for Nomadland and Emerald Fennell, for Promising Young Woman. Zhao already made history as the first Asian woman to win best director at the Golden Globe Awards in February. “Nomadland,” based on a 2017 non-fiction book of the same name, is about a woman in her 60s who, after losing everything in the Great Recession, embarks on a journey through the American West, living as a van-dwelling modern-day nomad. The thriller, “Promising Young Woman” tells the story of a young woman who is traumatized by a tragic event in her past, and seeks out vengeance against those who crossed her path. Dr. Mia Mask is a film professor at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, New York. She teaches African American cinema, feminist film theory, and other courses.
