13

<p>@kac622‌ HAHAHA thanks it was actually the prompt about a class…I said that there should be a class called Twerking 101 because twerking is derived from a real, cultural dance in Africa and twerking in America, like the kind Miley created, is a form of cultural appropriation and I wrote about how the class would teach students about cultural appropriation…hard to explain but you can read the essay if you want! :slight_smile: so happy that you’ll be one of my classmates next year. </p>

14
