[Editor's Note]

Alana B. Matthew, Editor-in-Chief Happy Homecoming! Thank you for your support of student journalism and welcome to this exceptional edition of 101 Magazine. The staff and I have been working towards this release for weeks and we can’t wait for you to dive into this extraordinary body of work.

An HBCU Homecoming is such an exciting time for all those participating, whether it’s your first time or 20th. A time of family, reuniting, celebration, and camaraderie. This is particularly the case for a Howard Homecoming. After COVID-19 put the world on pause for three years, this year ushers in a new era, a new season of Homecoming festivities and ways of life. We’ve seen it through the first half of the semester, this Homecoming week, and we’ll continue to watch it closely throughout the rest of the school year.

Homecoming was everything it has been revered to be, and it is our hope that this edition will encapsulate the time we had and the talent this campus possesses. The tailgate, as usual, did not disappoint as it remains a favorite event for both alumni and current students.

The fashion and step show showcased the unparalleled dedication and hard work of Howard students, Greek life, and organizations.

And while many thought the lineup for Yardfest was a disappointment, we still made our own fun. And of course, uncommonly winning our game against Delaware State. The music, the drinks, the forever iconic outfits, and the vibe of U Street were unmatched, and so was Sunday brunch

(for those able to secure a reservation).

It may not have been the best yet; but, if Howard students, both past and present, do one thing it’s make do. And that’s exactly what we did. In this edition, look out for Afia Barrie’s retrospective about last year’s Blackburn takeover and Skylar Jennings’ Crime Alert: Safety at the Mecca. Two amazing and extremely relevant pieces in this Homecoming season and Howard history.

See you next year, continue to stay safe, and stay tuned for all this publication will do next.

HU….. You KNOW!

Hair Fair at Howard Homecoming By: Mia Westley The hair category is very special to the evolution of Black people.

To be inspired by hair magazines, ancestral history, and the integration of protective styles emerged creativity through the uniqueness that the Black community has garnered when styling their hair…especially Black women. Homecomings at HBCUs are reminiscent of this effect, and prompt people to want to look their best for these moments. Listed are predictions of what hairstyles will be seen the most at homecoming, based on trends and other popular looks so far in the year 2022.

The Black Bussdown The first on the list would be the “Black Bussdown,” which is a solid black middle-part wig, known for being bone-straight with little to no design to the edges of the forehead.

An Elevated Look The second would be the elevated rethinking of the wellknown bohemian braids, but this style doesn’t require braiding hair or weave. It is often referred to as the Natural Bohemian Braids and became trendy after a viral tik-tok grabbed the black community’s eye. Many like to dress the relaxed hairstyle up with accessories, updos, and other creative expressions.

The Braided Pony

The third style would be the classic braid ponytail. Over the last few years, the ponytail braid has become a go-to for Black women needing a low-maintenance style for their special occasions. It remains timeless and effortlessly chic to young adults because of its diversity in styling or customizing.

The Claw Clip The fourth style is nothing new, but a true example of what “history repeats itself” stands for. The claw clip style is an adapted style from Y2K. It is loved because of its simplicity and its ability to “dress up” a basic style of a bun or a completely slicked traditional up-do.

Silk Press Season Lastly, the “Silk Press Season” has always been connected to the time of fall, but in recent seasons more than ever, adding color to that fresh look is in fashion as well. Going ginger, brown, or leafy, earth tones has become a dynamic along with straightening one’s natural hair.

Homecoming Hot Takes: Who All Gon’ Be There?

By: Aya FurinCampbell This is the most exciting time of year for Howard students, and for many, Yardfest is the highlight of it all. Every year, Howard students race to the yard with excitement, anticipating which musical artist Howard may have chosen to perform. In the past years, artists as big as Kanye West, Drake, 2Chainz, Diddy, Biz Markie Puffy, and Notorious B.I.G. have performed.

This will be the first time in far too long that Homecoming will be in person again, so the excitement is at an all-time high.

Howard students have been speculating whom they think will be here, and debating the top artists that they hope for.

“There’s no doubt in my mind that Flo Milli will perform,” Yardfest enthusiast Nyenty Takang said in speaking about this year’s Yardfest, “If she’s not here I’ll be so upset, but I feel like she really will be.” Takang is not the only one hoping for and expecting Flo Milli.

Howard University student Sidney Walters is also excited at the prospect of hopefully seeing her per- form. “Flo Milli is performing in D.C. that same weekend,” Walters said, “So it would

only make sense for her to pull up.” Artists performing around the same weekend are almost always predicted to come to Howard Yardfest before or after their nearby concerts.

North Carolina A&T (NCAT) has already released its homecoming lineup, happening on October 29. Lil Baby, Nardo Wick, and GloRilla will all be performing. These are huge names right now, and How- ard University students can only hope that our Homecoming lineup is just as good if not better, and lives up to expectations.

“Lil Baby’s going to NCAT and he just released his new album,” Howard student Makayla Malone said, “So I definitely expect him to be there. But someone on ‘huspeakyomind’ said that they were told from someone in charge that Yeat is coming, and that’s definitely my top choice.”

The rumor that Yeat will be here has been circulating among students ever since that ‘huspeakyomind’ post. ‘Huspeakyomind’ is an Instagram page where Howard students can anonymously post whatever they want. A lot of people would love to see Yeat at

Yardfest.

“I feel like everybody already has strong predictions about who will be there,” Gabrielle Reid said, “I personally want The Weekend more than anyone, but I feel like there’s less of a chance of him being here than some of the other artists that people are saying.”

Howard student Zola Wharton loved our 2019 Yardfest, in which her favorite artist Kanye West unexpectedly showed up to perform his Sunday Service early in the morning on the yard. “Nothing can top being able to see Kanye on our campus,” Wharton said, “It was such an amazing experience. This year I really want Yeat, but nothing can compare to Sunday Service.

When Kanye came to Howard, he brought Kim Kardashian with him, as she was

his wife at the time. Howard University student Phoenix Williams thinks this may become a trend in the future. “I want Jay-Z to perform, that would be amazing.

Imagine if he brought Beyoncé with him.

That would be the perfect Homecoming,” Williams said. As we get closer and closer to Yardfest, the suspense only grows.

Since Howard doesn’t release the artist names until right before it adds to the

anticipation. It seems all anybody can talk about is who might be performing when the time finally comes. Only time will tell who will be performing this year, but we can only hope for the biggest and the best!

Howard’s Best Eats

By Jamaica Kalika

For the first time in two years, Howard University is conducting in person homecoming events. Campus is already buzzing with recent grads, long-standing alumni, first year students, and many in the community experiencing their very first Howard homecoming. Whether this is your first or fifteenth homecoming, 101 Magazine has your back with a compilation of the best spots to eat in DC for this year’s homecoming.

Ben’s Chilli Bowl This U Street staple is one of the few remaining relics of Black Broadway, feeding Black history movements since 1958. Together, the founders (and Howard alumni), Ben and Virginia Ali created D.C.’s signature dish– the half smoke– bringing in frequent A-list visitors like former president Barack Obama and Pope Francis.

Regardless of their well earned clout, Ben’s Chili Bowl and the Ali family are still rooted in the community. They regularly use their 18k instagram followers to shout out the next generation of Black talent.

“We’ve always been that gathering place, I’ve seen generations coming back to Ben’s,” says founder Virginia Ali. They have multiple locations throughout the district, products in grocery stores around the country, nationwide delivery, and even have their own Go-Go song.

This year they celebrated their 64th anniversary, honoring the decades they’ve spent pioneering the local gastronomy.

What to get: Most Popular: Chili Half-Smoke or Chili Cheeseburger w/ Mustard and Onions (veggie alternatives as well) Virginia’s Favorite: Beef Dog 101 Pick: Milkshake!

NuVegan NuVegan is one of the most popular vegan restaurants in the DMV. This 100% vegan, family-owned restaurant was started in 2008 with the purpose of serving delicious food that satisfies the soul, as well as redefine the perception of vegan cuisine. Their mission is to be a place for cultural community building that can act as a motivating force towards global awareness.

With multiple locations and food truck service throughout the DMV, they even have a cafe in Howard’s Blackburn Center.

“We’ve always been next door to Howard, it’s been a real good relationship,” says Godel Sharp, manager at NuVegan Cafe.

Alafia Bailey, student at Howard University says, “For me, it’s just convenient to be able to use dining dollars to get NuVegan.”

As one of the premier vegan joints in the country NuVegan gets a lot of love and hype. Celebrities like Drake, Kanye West, and Kim Kardashian have made it a point to visit while in town.

Beyond great eats, NuVegan supports the collective interest in community building, youth education, business develop- ment support and healthy eating initiatives.

Los Hermanos At Los Hermanos, twins Raymond and Aris Compres, are preparing authentic Dominican food. Los Hermanos specializes in serving their mom’s recipes in home-sized servings at affordable prices. Served cafeteria style, their cooking transports you straight to the Dominican Republic.

What started out as a small bodega in 1995, the smell of their mom’s home cooked meals would fill the store enticing customers. Soon, she was given full reign to do as she pleased, earning them a community of loyal customers.

Roaming

Owner, Aris Compres, says, “We have a huge responsibility, Dominicans have a high standard for their food, it has to taste like their mom’s cooking.”

Rooster

Founded by an Ethiopian family, the Habtemariams, Roaming Rooster started as a food truck in 2015. During the famed “chicken sandwich war” over the pandemic, this Black-owned restaurant was able to capitalize on the national craze. In conjunction with the social media movement to support black-owned businesses during the George Floyd protests and specifically popularized by this tweet, Roaming Rooster has undergone a rapid expansion.

In 2018, they opened their first brick-and-mortar in the Northeast, followed shortly after by a U Street location in 2020. Which makes for easy access for the Howard community. They now have five locations and four trucks to meet the demand for their quality chicken sandwiches.

“The life on U Street was a big part of the decision-making for this location,” says general manager Luciana Calderon.

Possibly one of the best chicken sandwiches in the nation, Roaming Rooster is critically and customer acclaimed and has very loyal followersing throughout the DMV. The goal of providing free-range, grain-fed, and antibiotic-free chicken is to uplift spirits and bring peopletogether, for customers to feel good about the comfort food they’re eating.

Roaming Rooster also has pop-ups on campus to promote the restaurant and give out food, so try and catch them!

Located right along the Howard shuttle’s West Campus route, getting to Los Hermanos is a convenient trip for the Howard student. “Everytime I go on a Target run, I stop at Los Hermanos,” says Jasmyn Forde, a senior at Howard University.

Los Hermanos is a staple in Columbia Heights and the district’s Dominican community. This spot is a favorite for the Washington Nationals, who often make use of their catering services, and has been featured in the Washington Post.

With such a broad range of dishes, serving basically every Dominican dish there is, call ahead to see what is available during the week or what days certain dishes are out.

WonderWoman👸🏽 Love a Strong Woman, not so she can take on all the pain of white america of black men and not so we can add to her strain by being pawns in fruitless games;

Love a Strong Woman, not so she can endure more pain, she fights through enough disasters that are unnatural and faces way more adversity than i could ever even fathom;

the Black Woman is WonderWoman, she built this nation yet got nothing in return but inadequate treatment bashful, lashing out the world must really fear Her Light so they put the chains on and train the black man to be the next rainstorm in her world of flooding white slander, droughts of Love contrast the tsunami welling in her eyes i despise those who rip an earthquake in her heart as they tell her more lies, and to put a bandaid on a famine that’s been festering for what feels like since the skies turned gray from tornadoes as birds tried desperately to escape the twisting fate of their demise, paving the way for more landslides... of white slander;

Love a Strong Woman, so i could show how much i appreciate as i mark these words down and save the date i finally understood that a Noble Woman makes a man more righteous, Her Wisdom transforms his missteps into lessons that fate guided, and God tells us that this Love is something worth fighting for, not against… and God challenges us to exude compassion daily, so that we’re well equipped when time comes to stitch up that earthquake.

no natural disaster she’s at the eye of the hurricane no, she doesn’t need a man but she’s just tired of the pain and what she wants a man to do is STOP smothering, suffocating, underserving Her Flame, swear we’re undeserving of Her Wildfires anyway;

One Year Later: A Look Back on the #Blackburn Takeover By: Afia Barrie

On October 12, 2021, a group of Howard University students conducted a “takeover” of the Armour J. Blackburn University Center. As Homecoming 2022–the first anniversary of the Blackburn Takeover— approaches, 101 Mag looks back at this significant moment in the Mecca’s history.

In the fall of 2021, Bison were back on campus and facing many problems. The first week of September saw the campus facing a cyber attack. Dorms were reported without utilities, while some students reported mold, mildew, and pest infestations.

Senior Ota Ehue recalls where he was when the protests started. “I probably found out in Towers. I saw it on Twitter. Then walking through and seeing [the tents]. When they closed down Jazzman’s I was like oh, they’re really protesting out here.” Some students were spurred to participate because they were directly impacted by the issues. Bethann [whose last name has been withheld at request] said, “Our floor had a lot of mold and had a lot of issues with getting it fixed so that was the turning point. Oct. 15 was the first time I stayed overnight. My roommate supported me and brought me anything I needed,” the sophomore stated.

After a town hall meeting with the Howard University Student Association which the administration was invited but did not attend, tensions bubbled over into what was dubbed the Blackburn Takeover. Student protestors brought air mattresses, sleeping bags, and tents to prepare for a sit-in. Blackburn was occupied for 34 days.

The peak of the protests saw a swelling tent city that spilled out onto the Yard. Volunteers and various figures came with food, donations, and words of encouragement for protestors. Protestors made up of students, faculty, and alumni, endured cooling temperatures, meeting their academic responsibilities, and threats of punishment from the administration.

The takeover came at a significant time in HBCU (historically Black colleges and universities) culture: Homecoming. 2021 was set to be the first return to the Yard since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic.

On Sept. 20, 2021, the University announced that homecoming events would be moving to a hybrid format. However, as the protests became a major story, Howard announced the return of a few in-person events. Many felt that it was an attempt to distract from what was occurring. The Live Movement, an HBCU coalition responsible for the initial amplification of the protests, called for a boycott of all homecoming events. “I didn’t know how to go about the situation,” Jeremiah Lewis, a junior, stated. “You know, you’re walking through the Yard getting ready to purchase tickets and some people were saying we shouldn’t be doing this and should be focusing on what’s going on.”

“It looked like the university was trying to use Homecoming as good PR to counter the bad press from the protests and for those reasons, I didn’t participate in any events,” Senior Olivia Green remarked. The protests ended on November 15th, 2021 when student leaders came to an agreement with the administration.

Many students feel that the protests put a strain on the relationship between Howard’s administration and the students.

“It was interesting to see a school that is built on protesting and those figures who try to stand up and fix systems trying to silence the students and being an example of what people protest against,” Senior Elijah Russell expressed.

The protests receiving major media coverage have undoubtedly impacted Howard’s reputation. How will this affect potential future Bison? Freshman Aysha Dasilvio spoke about her feelings before attending. “I was planning on doing an early action application but then I heard about [the protests] and became kind of wary about it,” she answered. Dasilvio decided to go through with her application because she always wanted to go to an HBCU. A year later, Bison eagerly await what is the first homecoming for most. Green has a reluctant optimism for this year. “I think that Howard still has some reckoning to do with its students, especially considering the safety concerns that keep popping up this semester. Despite this, Homecoming is such a big part of who we are and I want everyone who hasn’t gotten to experience it yet to do so.

I definitely don’t want to miss my last one!” she remarked. Dasilvio is excited about her first Howard homecoming. “I’m just excited to see who’s performing. I don’t really have outfits planned, but I’m excited to have fun,” she said with a laugh. As homecoming approaches, it feels paramount to reflect.

What is the main takeaway for Bison?

Has Returned By: Gregory L. Coleman

“I was very excited because that was my first time really going to Yardfest in my time at Howard. This year I was excited [to] finally experience it as a

Yardfest has made an impactful return to Howard student.”

University’s campus and had the entire campus buzzing with excitement. The huge festival was the peak entertainment of the week of events surrounding the always anticipated extravaganza that is Howard Homecoming. Different acts headlined the day including Fivio Foreign, Chloe x Halle, Alabama’s own Flo Milli and the rising star out of Memphis, Glorilla.

- Dominique Lassiter.

Its return to campus was a big deal for many Howard students as last year was an anomaly due to the site being inside of Cramton Auditorium. This was the result of the Blackburn Takeover sweeping the semester and the University straying away from activities on the yard. The event last year, however, underperformed and was headlined by acts such as Asian Doll and Rae Sremmure along with Mooski.

This was the first in-person Yardfest on the yard since October of 2019. The artists that year included Saweetie, “Back That Thang Up” icon Juvenile, and the headliner was Dababy. It was a different time period. Everyone did a train line to “Suge”, everyone let Saweetie tell them her “Type”, and it was a time before the world knew what COVID-19 was. It was a vibe that solidified what it meant to be a Howard University student .

The general public enjoyed this year’s Yardfest being on the yard over last year’s being inside of Cramton Auditorium.

“Definitely the amount of people and the vibes in general is a lot more fun and I just feel free.”

-Kaniya Marcus, a Howard Sophomore Unfortunately, however, the campus was not too fond of the lineup that was presented with Fivio Foreign being the headliner, and GloRilla not having a long set. It also lacked the department of recognizable stars up and down the card and the energy of the concert was not reverberating across the students. Part of that has to do with the lack of student input allowed for the planning of Yardfest. So much so that HUSA and UGSA put out a statement on Instagram explaining how the Administration made Yardfest decisions and event decisions for Homecoming back in May. And did not ask for student input unless it was for safety protocol.

The return of Yardfest reminded students of one thing. That you must cherish all that you have, while you have it, and you must enjoy your time at Howard whenever you get the chance.

Bison Madness

2022

ENDING HOMECOMING WITH A WIN

BY: KENDALL LANIER

The most anticipated game of the year is the Homecoming game. The first home game of the season in Greene Stadium was sold out with a bustling crowd. The alumni who returned home for the weekend made sure to support their Bison and relive their glory days.

The sidelines were busy with cheer alumnae alongside the student cheerleaders chanting their classic cheers to get the fans hyped up.

The Howard Bison defeated the Delaware State Hornets 35-17. This game opened the teams' MEAC conference play for the season. For the past six weeks with two bye weeks, the team was on the road traveling up and down the East Coast. They even headed to Florida to play Head Coach Larry Scott’s alma mater, South Florida.

Delaware State opened the game with the lead, 3-0 after scoring a 51-yard field goal. The Bison quickly ran up the scoreboard, getting four unanswered scores. Starting Quarterback Quinton Williams returned to this week's game after missing the previous game due to an injury. He was able to score his touchdown in the third quarter.

“It was a play that we worked on throughout the week and they gave us what we wanted so I decided to go make a play and be myself,” said Williams.

Other standouts included Kasey Hawthorne who had a 75-yard run into the endzone for a touchdown, his career record. As well as sophomore Kenny Gallop who led the Bison defense with nine tackles.

Head Coach Larry Scott was excited about the win, but also emphasized the importance of the finish.

“We will continue to make strides that we want. We got to learn how to really finish at the end of games, and be who we are all the time, we got to be consistent in who we are and I think that’s something we got to continue to just stress and do.”

The Bison will head back on the road to take on Norfolk State University next week as they make their way through conference play. Although the team has gone through ups and downs this season, Coach Scott said he is confident about where the team is at.

“There’s no greater teacher than experience and once we learn that is and what that formula is, that’s how you fix it all the time and now they are getting to understand what that process is. Scott said. “We just got to continue to refine it, continue to sharpen it, continue to execute and we’ll have the results we always wanted.”
