“One time I felt successful was the day of the festival last year for Live On Washington. It was so amazing to be together with all of my peers that I’ve been working with all year round to put on this huge show. Just seeing everyone smile in the audience was such a life-changing experience. It just made me feel so proud of myself and all the other curators. It was amazing to see how smooth everything went down. There wasn’t anyone that we felt disrespected the Live On Washington name. Also, even when our community partners seemed to be dropping out right before the festival, everyone worked together to replace them quickly, it was great. All of our members showed up, and were ready to work from early in the morning to late that night. Just seeing everyone and that like happiness by the end of the night after getting to meet some of the headliners was genuinely life-changing.”

About the Writer

Evan Ash, Opinion Editor

Evan Ash is currently a senior at Community High School and this will be his sixth semester in journalism. Evan has loved the opportunities to meet new people at a personal level through journalism, interviewing people from all walks of life on many different topics — from basketball players like Cassius Winston to famous artists like 24KGoldn. He considers himself to have an outgoing and spunky personality, often starting sing-alongs and dance parties in the middle of class. This year, he will be working as the Opinion Editor, leaving his past position of Sports Editor to tackle the 2020 election in a time of great divide in the United States. He hopes he can generate tough conversations and cover the pressing topics in different forms of media, including video series and podcasts. He plans on studying political science in college and hopes to one day be an anchor on a mainstream news network.
