Let’s Talk About Money A deeper look into the approved tuition increase proposal Marrian Zhou Editor-in-Chief A heated morning discussion would be an understatement to describe the California State University Board of Trustees’ meeting in which they approved the tuition increase. The proposal was passed with 11-8 votes on Wednesday, March 22.

Student protesters from across the 23 CSU’s gathered in front of the Chancellor’s dawn, some arriving the night prior.

Although the board room was separated by heavy glass from outside and with a spacious lobby in the middle, everyone in the room could hear the students’ chanting crystal clear. “The more we pay, the longer we stay!” they shouted repeatedly.

As Chancellor White mentioned multiple times that this subject brought no joy to the board but it was out of

necessity, students that came to express their opinions shouted, “Chancellor White, Do What’s Right!” And, when the action item was approved, students chanted, “Shame! Shame! Shame!”

During the meeting, some Trustees repeatedly mentioned that the lack of state funding was the very reason for the tuition increase proposal. It was

for graduate and postbaccalaureate students. For doctoral candidates, it will be $720 more for Doctor of Education, $930 more for Doctor of Nursing (Continued to Page 3)

$167.7 million gap in state funding. “If adopted,” stated in the proposal, “the increase would generate $77.5 million in net revenue, after spending an additional $38 million on State University Grants to students. The tuition increase would take effect beginning in fall 2017 and would align with the timeline and requirement of the Working Families Student Fee Transparency and Accountability Act (Act).”

Student Advocates Negotiate State Capital for CSU Funding Members travel to Sacramento to pressure Assemblymembers for higher education funding Anthony Karambelas Staff Reporter Facing a potential CSU tuition hike, a tiny but mighty group of Cal State defending student pocketbooks. Our very own student advocacy group, Corps, has been especially active in recent weeks, energy to ensure that a tuition hike does not occur.

our state capital in an effort to convince local politicians and assemblymembers to provide more funding to the CSU. Their efforts tackled the crux of the tuition issue: California funding simply does not cover higher education as much as it should.

For some members of the

the State Capitol, the process of lobbying for CSU students blew me away. I hadn't realized how important it truly is for students to contact their local legislators to voice their opinions on education - because in the end, that's all it comes down to. If your assembly member isn't hearing from you as a college student but hears from public health advocates, public health is what they will focus their attention on,” said Neyda Susana.

In her visit, Susana found that assemblymembers had unrealistic views of the tuition crisis. Many thought that students were being too frivolous with their money, spending it on “dry cleaning” instead of their education.

“The fact that our campus has created a food pantry for faculty and students who cannot afford food speaks enough to the situation; education has been priced way too high, and with the cost of living in California it is unrealistic to expect students to be able to advance themselves in education, or in life, if they cannot even afford food.” state legislators that the nature of the college experience has changed.

They dismissed the Governor’s intent to save up for California’s future, insisting that we need to invest before we conserve.

“Students are the future of CA and if we do not invest in the CSU system we will not have those health care providers to provide the health care the state prioritizes; we will not have those engineers to build our roads or dams,” said Marcos Montes, leader of the Corps.

Every Day is Earth Day Interactive activities and friendly organization educate students on sustainable living Janice Peregrina Staff Reporter The Center for Student Involvement (CSI) welcomed Spring with a focus on clean, sustainable living with “Think Green,” a small festival held in the the University Student Union (U-SU) Plaza celebrating and promoting environmental consciousness.

“Think Green” was part of Cal State where CSI organizes events centered around charitable causes. Booths representing several green organizations providing useful information, school-sponsored games and giveaways, and a DIY seed booth were featured at this event.

There were several groups from local organizations set up for the Angeles

The logic behind this proposal was, “several waiver programs cover the full cost of tuition for more than 60 percent of all CSU undergraduate students… effect on more than 255,000 undergraduate students.”

However, there are total of 478,638 students enrolled in the CSU system as of fall 2016, as stated in the analytic report of student enrollment on the CSU website. This number includes graduate and doctoral candidates who will also be burdened with an increase in tuition.

According to a new study from Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce and reported by CNBC, “over the past 25 years, more than 70 percent of college students have worked while attending school. And the number of working students has grown as college enrollment and tuition have increased…

Students are working an average of 30 hours a week.”

Power focused on all sorts of water-saving techniques people can employ. “What we’re talking about here is sustainability of water and power,” said a representative like reminding people to unplug their appliances.” She also mentioned that the most outdoor use, and that limiting lawn watering and switching to drought-resistant plants are some of the most effective changes people can employ Dept. of Water and Power was handing out water-saving shower heads as well. The heads are able to completely shut off during a shower, enabling users to save on water when “soaking up at shampooing.”

The representative was very passionate about her job for over 28 years, and derived personal well-being from knowing her actions produced positive results.

“I get to make sure that the water is safe for a little over four million people to drink, and it makes me feel really good.”

Trash Free Earth had their booth set up with photos from their latest green escapades and information about their is a newer organization that “educates communities about the impact of trash on our environment,” according to In the Undergraduate Outcomes Report provided on the CSU’s website, the section that analyzes “Predicted Probabilities of Persistence and Degree Completion by Initial Declared Major,” shows that the majority of undergraduate students enrolled in the CSU system graduate in six years or less instead of in four years or less.

For a full-time undergraduate student in the CSU system who also works to make ends meet, and falls into the majority who graduates in six years or less. With the $270 increase in tuition annually, and the minimum wage requirement of $10.50 per hour in California, he or she will have to work about 13 extra hours every semester to make up for the $1,620 increase in tuition of the six-year undergraduate frame.

Trump: The Department of Education’s Worst Case Scenario

Trump cuts government funding for everyone except military Miguel Arriola Intern

The proposed Trump budget plan is an indicator of how Donald Trump hopes to remake the country. An additional 54 billion dollars will be allocated to military spending. This is being sought in order for the United States to be better prepared for any future wars it may choose to become involved with.

Perhaps by now, some of us have become conditioned to expect war from time to time, but where exactly is the $54 billion supposed to come from? Simple, from you and me. Under the proposed budget, the State Department will see significant cuts to its own budget. This will undoubtedly affect the government’s ability to conduct diplomacy robustly and effectively.

The current Secretary of Defense James Mattis once

warned, “If you don’t fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition.” This statement underscores the reality that a lessened emphasis on diplomacy in tandem with an increased commitment to military expenditures, necessarily increases the likelihood of U.S. soldiers being sent somewhere where they could possibly be wounded or killed to the detriment of their families, friends, and taxpayers.

Less abstract are the cuts expected to hit agencies and programs that directly affect the lives of people living all across the U.S. Cuts to the EPA for example, would impede the agency’s ability to combat air and water pollution, placing public health at risk. In some cases, the cost of treating polluted water could be passed on to consumers.

Other high profile programs that have been mentioned as being at risk of being cut include the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (PBS), and food assistance programs such as “Meals on Wheels,” which delivers food to elderly

people in need. The current proposed budget is also expected to cut funding to the National Endowment for the Arts, as well as to federal education programs that fund after school programs for children.

“Wings for Kids” is one such after school program.

According to a CNN report, the program has 11 chapters in three states, and many of the 1,600 children participating are from lowincome households. This after school learning program depends on an annual $1.6 million from an overarching federal program which distributes funds to after school programs around the country from a total yearly allocation of $1.2 billion.

The absence of programs such as “Wings for Kids” will deprive children of an element of structure in their young lives, as a venue of personal growth is closed to them and some are forced to go home to unsupervised homes while their parents work. For single parents going to school in addition to working, this could pose an even greater challenge in

their everyday lives and those of their children.

As for the National Endowment for the Arts, dismantling it would be a major blow to the cultural prestige of the United States.

The Endowment has been around since 1965 and has served as a major sponsor for productions featuring excellence in art and music.

In addition to this, a report in the San Francisco Chronicle notes that should the Endowment be shut down, American museums would suffer a great deal. This is because an attached program known as the Arts and Artifacts Indemnity would lose access to the funds of the Endowment. Basically, this program uses Endowment funds to cover the large costs of insurance coverage for priceless artwork and artifacts that travels from museum to museum across the country and around the world.

Jay Xu, Director of the Asian Art Museum said, “Indemnity plays an important role in fostering cultural empathy. Here’s how: It’s expensive to bring

the best-of-the-best artworks from Asia, like we did last summer with loans from the National Palace Museum, Taipei.

The indemnity program made that exhibition financially feasible, allowing us to introduce elements of Chinese culture to a whole new generation.”

Budget cuts that get rid of funds for after school learning programs where children can make likeminded friends should not come at a time when the military is set to receive $54 billion. Curtailing children’s opportunity to get involved in the arts and music does not make for a cultured public.

These programs protect children by giving them a safe place to be after school and providing them a positive focus around which they can build themselves up as a person with a discovered talent. The National Endowment for the Arts is necessary for both our own cultural enrichment here in the US, as well as for the advancement of efforts at promoting cultural understanding between peoples.

INVITACIÓN

Políticos, deportaciones y medios de comunicación involucrados Por Eduardo Ramos

TEMAS GENERALES

La frase “let’s make America great again” (hagamos grandiosa a América de nuevo) ha resonado a través de los medios de comunicación desde que Donald Trump la utilizó como lema publicitario en su campaña presidencial.

A partir de entonces, quienes están a favor, han apoyado la idea bajo la creencia de que este país en algún momento estaba dejando o dejó de ser una gran nación y que con la nueva administración volvería a resurgir.

Quienes no comparten esa idea, describen la misma como una especie de fascismo y señalan que algunas de las primeras decisiones tomadas por Trump no favorecen dicho argumento. Contratar a Betsy DeVos como secretaria de educación pública, hacer cambios al sistema de salud “Obamacare” y una política migratoria fallida, son un ejemplo de las decisiones más criticadas por políticos de

oposición a la administración del presidente.

Las reacciones de DeVos ante preguntas acerca de los fundamentos de la política educativa federal, sugirieron que sabe poco acerca de las funciones del departamento que ella ahora conduce. Por otra parte, la propuesta de Donald Trump de sustituir la ley de cuidados de salud accesibles, también conocida como “Obamacare”, fue retirada por él mismo por no contar con el apoyo suficiente entre sus mismos partidarios para ser tratada en la cámara de representantes.

La falta de apoyo a sus decisiones también fue señalada cuando dos republicanos discreparon su elección para encabezar la Secretaría de Educación Pública, dando paso a la intervención histórica del vicepresidente para desempatar la votación. Por último, fueron los prejuicios fomentados por la ignorancia, los que llevaron a Trump a tomar la decisión de negar la entrada temporal a ciertos países de creencia musulmana.

Dichos países son: Irán, Siria, Yemen, Libia, Somalia, Sudán e Irak, aunque a este último se le sacó de la lista por presiones del pentágono y el

Departamento de Estado por considerarlo clave en la lucha anti-terrorismo contra ISIS. Donald Trump debería de trabajar en una reforma migratoria que devuelva la tranquilidad robada por los medios de comunicación a inmigrantes vulnerables.

Lo mismo que respetar los programas que han sido creados para favorecer a los más necesitados.

Una verdadera grandeza inicia con un sistema educativo que elimine la desigualdad entre la educación ofrecida a grupos privilegiados y la ofrecida a las minorías, para así poder hablar de un país que con una sociedad integrada, no dividida racialmente.

Sería grandioso que algunos poderosos de este país dejaran de ser tan egoístas. Antes de hablar de hacer grande a este país de nuevo, hay que preguntarse si alguna vez dejo de serlo. Ciertamente se le pueden encontrar fallas, pero con todo y las malas decisiones de Trump, no han podido eliminar la entidad de la patria. Aunque en práctica a veces no parezca, en esencia la constitución de este país sigue nutriendo el crecimiento de la nación.

Tecnología que promete mejorar la vida de personas con parálisis

laonda.newspaper@gmail.com LAONDACSULA

la universidad de Case Western Reserve y el Centro de Estimulación Funcional Eléctrica de Cleveland, Ohio, lograron que los músculos de una persona con parálisis se activaran. Después de una ardua investigación, el grupo descubrió que podían estimular los músculos de Bill Kochevar, paciente que quedó tetrapléjico hace ocho años tras chocar con un auto mientras iba en su bicicleta.

La

investigación

fue

publicada la semana pasada por Journal Lancet. En el artículo explicaron, que a Kochevar se le colocaron sensores en la zona motora del cerebro y se le implantaron 36 electrodos en el brazo y mano derecha. También, se utilizó un decodificador para simplificar en comandos las señales del cerebro, hallazgo que le dio la oportunidad de controlar su brazo.

Bill Kochevar de 56 años, pudo comer y beber sin la ayuda de nadie. Él logró mandar mensajes desde su cerebro con dos sensores implantados del tamaño de una aspirina; estos recogieron actividad nerviosa del área del cerebro y la mandaron a una computadora, la cual le transmitió la señal a los electrodos colocados en el brazo del paciente.

Según el artículo, para que

se pudiera llevar acabo el experimento, Bill Kochevar, tuvo que estar 45 semanas en rehabilitación para restablecer los músculos que tenían atrofia tras pasar varios años sin actividad. Para Kochevar, el experimento es una gran oportunidad ya que puede hacer cosas por el mismo. También dijo que fue impresionante poder moverse después de ocho años y cree que el experimento fue todo un éxito, “esto es mejor de lo que pensé que sería”.

El Dr. Bolu Ajiboye, uno de los científicos que trabajó con Kochevar, reconoció que la tecnología aún debe ser mejorada. Sin embargo, considera que esta técnica les permitirá a las personas con parálisis a tener una variedad de movimientos y por ende, a transformar sus vidas

Pan-African Student Resource Center discusses love, sex, and relationships Alex Montgomery Contributor In the early afternoon of Thursday, March 23, those who were lucky enough to find themselves in the Alhambra room on the third floor of the University Student Union were treated to a frank, open panel discussion of romantic relationships and various practices that might incubate a healthy one in a contemporary environment.

The program, entitled “Black Talk: The Real on Black Love, Sex, and Relationships,” was coordinated by Shanique Davis, a Student Assistant Program Coordinator for the PanAfrican Student Resource Center.

In a short but informative interview, Davis was able to articulate what prompted her to organize the event and why it was held on the last week before Spring Break.

A relationship, hooking up, talking, whatever you wanna call it, is always on our mind, especially while we’re in college and we’re meeting so many new people all the time and all that...I wanted to do it specifically before Spring Break because a lot of the time, that’s when

Winkler contended in an equally short and informative interview that the apparent burgeoning interest in relationships shared by the majority of young people was “natural.”

Davis also moderated the panel, fielding questions from attendees and asking a few of her own. The panel itself was comprised of three women of color: Thea Winkler, a counselor for the Student Health Center’s Counseling and Psychological

The panel addressed universally prevalent issues like knowing whether or not you’re in a relationship (“If you don’t know, ask!”), where to meet people outside of class (museums, independent music festivals), and being conscious of what you might be

“I think a lot of times when conflict comes in is either expectations they may have, (culturally, socially, familial) versus just having the strength and courage to say what they actually want,” said Winkler.

“So a lot of the conflict is they may want something in a relationship that they’re not getting, that they’re afraid to ask for because they’ve been told things could go bad, or the person might go away...if somebody goes away because you asked for something that you need, then that tells you that’s not the right person.

But we’re afraid of that, we’re afraid of rejection, or the idea of not being with someone.”

Both Winkler and Davis expressed satisfaction with how the event turned out, both in regards to student attendance and sage advice given.

Equal Means Equal Documentary sheds light on gender inequalities in the workplace, politics, and the courts, showing us how women have a long way to go in being equal to men.

Mimi Li Staff Reporter 96 percent of Americans believe that men and women are equal, according to the 2016 documentary Equal Means Equal. However, the documentary, which is written, directed, and produced by women’s rights activist, filmmaker, and actress

Kamala Lopez, shows us how far women are from being equal to men.

In all areas of women’s lives, from the workplace to the home to college campuses, they face a myriad of legal obstacles to achieving equal rights and justice. The film was shown in the University-Student Union Theatre last Thursday as part of the Independent Visions film series hosted by the Cross Cultural Centers at Cal State LA. The documentary includes key figures from the past and present feminist movements such as Ms Foundation for Women Founding President Gloria Steinem, Feminist Majority Foundation Co-Founder and President Eleanor Smeal, and

assault -- She had to walk home with blood on her face while no one around her cared. Later, she was put in a psychiatric hospital, which she felt was punishment for being assaulted.

Women and men are still not equal under the Constitution, Lopez states in the film. While the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause states that a person cannot be denied equal protections of the law within its jurisdiction, women in sex discrimination cases do not receive the highest legal protection in the courts. The solution, Lopez says, is to revive the movement to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), which was introduced in Congress in the 1970s but failed to be ratified.

A discussion was followed by the film screening. Stephanie Abraham, Cal State LA Housing Services Communications and Technical Support Coordinator, recalls a conversation she had with a lawyer in regards to modern legal rights. “What would you say to a person who thinks that the law and the Constitution is BS?” she asked the lawyer. The lawyer replied, “Well, I would say that it is BS but it will affect your life more than you realize.”

“Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex,” the proposed amendment states.

A recurring theme in the documentary is that women often do not receive justice with the current existing laws. One of the areas in which the law fails women the most is in the field of domestic violence.

For example, while domestic violence victims can get a restraining order against their abusers, law enforcement does not have to enforce it, and about 75% of women who are domestic violence victims who kill their abusers in self-defense serve long terms in prison.

One of the film’s subjects is Isabel Diaz, artist and co-founder of Heart of Art, an art gallery in East Los Angeles that provides a space for women, queer, and transgender artists to heal from trauma. Diaz tearfully recounts the aftermath of her sexual

Cross Cultural Centers Director Fred Smith noticed that the film differs from usual conversations on inequality, which tend to focus on individual actions.

“What I really appreciated about this film, especially since it’s related to women’s rights, equality, and equity, is that it helps us to see things from a structural and institutional view, looking corporations, boards, and lawmakers, and all sorts of larger structures, which can then help motivate all of us to work not only on an individual level but on a structural level,” said Smith.

Abraham, who is involved in the planning of the Cross Cultural Centers’ annual Take Back the Night, encouraged audience members to attend, volunteer, or speak at the event. The event empowers sexual assault survivors to tell their stories and ends with a rally around campus.

The event is on April 26 at 6pm at the University-Student Union Plaza.

On the nominations of Trump appointees, she has been fairly representative of her district. She opposed the nomination of John Kelley for Secretary of Homeland Security, opposed Mike Pompeo for the Director of the Central Intelligence Agency, opposed Rex Tillerson for the Secretary of State, and opposed Ryan Zinke for Secretary of the Interior.

For her 2016 campaign, Harris raised roughly $13.5 million, which is over three times as much as her opponent Loretta Sanchez raised. She raised over $9 million from the defense industry, over $2 million from lawyers and lobbyists, and nearly $2 million from the communications and electronics industries.

Cal State LA students display art in the Fine Arts building Sylvia Valdez Intern The Fine Arts Gallery is hosting an art exhibition until April 5th. The exhibit will be open from Monday through Friday, noon-5pm.

There was a sense of relief in Aviles’ voice as she confessed how stressful the waiting game was. Many submitted their works and only the selected are on display now. For those who didn’t get accepted, don’t fret, there are more opportunities to come. For information on the Gallery and submissions, you can contact Gallery Director Karin Lanzoni (323) 343-4040.

The exhibition displays art works from Cal State LA undergraduate students, which is a great opportunity if you’re a struggling artist. The vast art pieces in the exhibit include canvases, sculptures, ceramic pieces, digital media, and drawings.

“The pieces were created within the last year by Cal State LA undergraduate students from the Art Department’s Animation, Graphic Design, Fashion & Textiles, Art Education, and Studio Arts Options. The wide range of works were juried by the Department of Art faculty,” as posted on Cal State LA’s news release webpage.

Amongst the unique pieces, there’s one in particular that stands out. A piece titled, Medusa. This intricate cardboard piece is put together by nothing else than glue and tape. Luckily enough, Andrea J Aviles, the artist was present during my time at the exhibit. She graciously agreed to answer a few of my questions.

When asked what drew her to art, Aviles gratefully responded, “since primary [school], we were exposed to art, in classes, and my father would always be sketching, so I was surrounded by art.”

Frida Kahlo is Aviles’ favorite artist. She explained, “her painting [The Two Fridas], is my favorite. I like the contrast, with the white dress and the traditional attire. The

To say that Aviles’ Medusa was noticeable would be an understatement. To most, it would simply look like cardboard in the shape of horns, but to the artist, it’s more. “I picked a part of my body and made it abstract. I chose fond horns, I made them

Namour Shines Light on American Assimilation L.A. Director screens cultural film at Cal State LA Kyle Frizol Intern For the city of Los Angeles, the emphasis on diversity and portrayal of culture has long been a source of creative movement. Such creatives as Ava Duvernay have propelled ethnic diversity and focus on a shifting mainstream audience that is finally correctly and accurately depicting minorities and races that have never seen Hollywood spotlights. Most recently, the film Namour by director Heidi Saman, picked up by Duvernay’s “Array Studios,” depicts the life of a modern Muslim man who maneuvers post-college life in a setting that is both unapologetic and straightforward.

For Heidi Saman, creating a film that accurately depicts the dynamic life that individuals experience in the world today, choosing a Muslim cast seemed natural and organic in parallel to the struggle of fitting in and homogenizing in U.S. culture. Specifically, Saman noted that Namour is, “a story about a Muslim

man who experiences the many dynamics and different components that make up an individual’s life today.”

Steven is vastly different and disconnected from the rest of his immediate bubble of influence and familiarity.

In the film, the main character, Steven, a first generation EgyptianAmerican, is a struggling LA resident who spends the majority of his days balancing his life as a valet for a highend restaurant, and as a son and brother alongside his dysfunctional and oddly distant family. By depicting Steven’s day-to-day interactions with other individuals, including his own family members, it quickly becomes evident that

As Saman stated, “Steven’s life represents the many different influences and characteristics that make up an individual’s life today.”

For people like Steven, especially those that make up a minority that is both underrepresented and misunderstood in the changing dynamic of the U.S.’s fabric, the importance of properly displaying and portraying the struggle of fitting-in hits home

for many.

U.S. today.

Saman, who is an EgyptianAmerican himself, seems like the perfect storyteller for this situation, as he understands the key points that create Steven’s character and situation.

Ultimately, as Saman demonstrated in Namour, becoming assimilated in modern culture can often result in creating a gap between traditional values and the expectations of disconnection that modernity tends to promote. However, for Steven, homogeneity is not the ultimate goal, as he witnesses others that have done just that are even more miserable than he is. For him, finding his place in L.A. means finding a balance between old and new, and more importantly between good and bad. Through his decisions of where he works, who he spends time with, and where he visits, Steven ultimately creates a reality for himself that is not easy by any means, but is in the direction of happiness in the long run.

For example, as Steven’s sister moves from traditional values to those of a modern counterpart, he notices himself stuck in a sense of consistent dilemma at trying to fit into the country’s youngest and most relevant culture to his own.

Even when attending parties that he is invited to alongside friends, Steven cannot escape the demons that trap him in his own mind, specifically those of insignificance and inability to relate. Ultimately this prevents Steven from making the very connections that he so desperately wishes to make.

The message of Namour, as it stands, is understanding the complexity of balancing and effectively managing the multiple expectations that come with jobs, friendships, and even family. Regardless of the culture and circumstances that uniquely depict and differentiate each individual, the constant still remainsold fashioned traditions will tend to clash and create strain on individuals that grow alongside newfound values and cultures that define the

Namour, a film that follows powerful footsteps of production company Array’s founder, Ava Duvernay, continues on the path of selfdiscovery and understanding in a culture that is shifting every day. For Saman, depicting Steven alongside the individuals that define and influence him, the audience can truly understand the dynamics that make up his difficult, but regardless, important life.

Myth of Crazy

The Soul Music of Justice series decode stereotypes surrounding African American female artists Merna Nashed Contributor In ‘The Soul Music of Justice’ series, the panel discussed the stereotype around the idea that African American women are crazy. They brought up three inspirational African American women that have gone through dramatic changes in the music industry not by choice but by the pressure of the people in their lives and the media.

The first woman that was discussed was female rapper, Lil’ Kim. The panel and attendees talked about her background and how her mother died, in addition to a broken relationship with her father. In fact the relationship was so bad that she was kicked out of her home. In spite of this Lil’ Kim pushed forward and won a rapping contest that changed her life and career forever.

The panel showed us the covers of her music albums, which degraded her in every single way. In an interview, Lil’ Kim stated that she was a women rapper among many men rappers, and with that she had to talk like them and be like them in order to succeed in the industry. She needed to stand out. She used vulgar language just to become equal with the men.

As time went on competition grew fiercer. To keep up with her image, Lil’ Kim started to make changes to her body. She got implants and even bleached herself to make herself look lighter. The media became outraged at the Asterio Tecson things that she was doing to American singer Whitney Houston performing on Good Morning America her body and deemed her as was not only a singer, but a do simple errands.
