Starting the event with Nigerian food, stu- dents of all cultures enjoyed comedy, a fashion show, music and Nigerian danc- Mg in the Gardner Student Center Ballroom. The event was hosted by the Nigerian Student Association. "I really enjoy the rice from Nigeria," said Chidera "Mikraking" Ezech, a freshman nursing major from Awka, Nigeria. "In Nigeria, we also have a big cake with our flag colors on it and celebrate with fireworks." Though Nigerian Independence day is celebrated on Oct. I, the Nigerian dent Association wanted to involve as many students and faculty as possible to show appreciation to this celebration. Cynthia Konye Ojoko, a sophomore chemistry major from Lagos, Nigeria, is the president of the Nigerian Student Association. She said she helped put the Nigerian Independence Day event together and was grateful for the attendance of students, faculty and residents. The independence day event included singing the Nigerian national anthem, and pledge of Nigeria, along with cultural dances by Ojoko, and a brief history of Nigeria. A fashion show with vibrant clothing followed, to show viewers the dress culture of Nigeria. "I really liked going up on stage and learning their traditional dances," said Natasha Cannon, a sophomore elementary education major from St. George. "I went last year and would like to go and see it next year." Riddles and jokes were also given about Nigeria and other cultures. Traditional Nigerian food was served for everyone who attended the event. Fried rice, Jollof rice, plantain, chicken, chicken gizzards and Zobo a Nigerian e drink were all served at the event. "I am grateful for how far Nigeria has come as a country," Ojoko said. "I hope that many other cultural events can be attended at DSU so we can all learn from each other." Donations were optional for the Nigerian Student Association to continue events like this one and help DSU continue to be a diverse culture university. tea-lik- Words have power, especially when it comes to body image. The Women's Resource Center at Dixie State University hosted the "Body Image Literacy Workshop," inviting several speakers to come Sept. 26 to the Zion Room in the Jeffery R. Holland Centennial Commons to speak on the subject of body image and body positivity. "I love these kinds of things," said St. George resident Taylor Brimhall. "I've struggled with an eating disorder, so it really helps to come to these kind of events and then share what I gained from them." .Brimhall said she runs a blog called Finding Tay, iling her struggle with body image and her resultdisorder. Her ing husband, Craig Brimhall, an adjunct over the first-yeexperience.classes, said he comes not only to support her, but because the message of body positivity is important. "There is so much noise out there, and good body image is important stuff everyone could benefit from," Craig Brimhall said. Miss Utah Krissia Beatty, a senior communication major from St. George said during her time at the Miss America pageant, she realized her body image came under fire when she was stressed. "When we're put in stressful situations, we can forget who we really are," Beatty ar However, Beatty said a simple way she reminds her- self of her positive attributes is a list of 10 things she likes about herself, and keeps the list on her phone. It helps me keep on track and stay focused on the good," Beatty said. However, Eva Beatty, a Health and Wellness Center therapist, asked attendees if they focus on their positive attributes. "Are the words that come to your mind kind?" Eva Beatty asked. "Or are your words critical?" Eva Beatty said she has seen many people's self-esteem based on things like peer approval, good grades and body image. She said on basing our our outward accomplishments could be challenging to a healthy body image, cause if there is failure from any of these points, it could damage overall and the linked body image. self-estee- m self-estee- m "Everyone goofs up every once in a while," Eva Beatty said. "So be kind to yourself and talk nicely even in your own head."
