When We Get By (Epilogue)

The Blackwell Beat with Lala Jacobs

What’s good Blackwellians, and welcome toThe Blackwell Beat with Lala Jacobs.

Our sources have just informed us that Zack Kingsford, the recently disgraced former president of Blackwell, is being investigated by the university for corruption and harassment after Kiki Banjo’s exposure of him at the AfroWinter Ball. Her accusations amplified the protests lobbied against him in the past month, making it impossible for the university to ignore what theyhavebeen ignoring for months.

Simi Coker provided a damning dossier to the university bosses. The news has gained traction across campuses nationwide and it is possible that the university’s fear of embarrassment has forced them to act. The Whitewell Knights have formally disbanded and have been condemned by the university. Zack Kingsford has been expelled from campus.

The Teahouse

Well, Blackwellians, looks like the presidency might just get a whole lot sweeter.

In a shocking turn of events, following the ‘LiveBrown SugarSession’ (that was far, far too corny for my tastes), Blackwellians have collectively called for Kiki Banjo to put herself forward for interim president and Adwoa Baker has withdrawn herself from the race, putting herself forward for the vice presidency instead.

If Banjo does win, I hope she and her boyfriend manage to keep their making out to themselves because frankly I’m sick of seeing that much of their tongues in communal spaces and it’s unbecoming for a leader to engage in that much PDA. Seriously, it’s gross. We get it. You’re in love. You’re not the only ones.

I am sure Adwoa Baker will make a fine vice president if their cabinet wins. Some may say the vice president’s role is more important than the president’s, a more strategic position. The team, including Aminah, Shanti, and Chioma, call themselves the Dahomey Amazons, after the all-bad-bitch military regiment in the ancient kingdom. They are up against... an all-male party called the Kingsford Kollective. (Really? Okay. Sure.) And the Pow Party. (I am seriously so confused—is this some kind of dance competition from an early noughties movie?!)

Best wishes to all involved.
