Let the (rap) battle begin

"It gets ugly, but it's the most entertaining thing you'll ever see." 6/20/18 Battle Rap's First LGBTQ League The brainchild of Bronx-born Sara Kana, Prism Battle League is a platform for emcees in the LGBTQ community to compete in a battle of words, wise and wit. Painfully aware with homophobia in hip-hop, Sara created Prism as a chance to foster talent and give a voice to those who deserve to be heard.   This Great Big Story was made possible by P&G.  Before Sushi, There Was Funazushi The type of sushi you're probably most familiar with is haya-nare, a quick form of sushi made and consumed within a day using vinegared rice and raw fish. But there's a second type of sushi that takes a little longer to prepare—try three years longer. Served with rice and fermented fish, funazushi is a traditional Japanese dish dating back over 400 years. And while traditional sushi can be made using a variety of fish, funazushi is made only using fish unique to Japan's Lake Biwa. This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis. Whose Body Is a Beach Body Anyway? The beach is meant to be fun, light and enjoyable. But for some, the beach is an uncomfortable place, where gender norms and body image stereotypes create pressure to look or dress a certain way. That's why YouTube personality Ari Fitz created Tomboyish—a fashion project designed to question prevailing notions of beauty, femininity and masculinity.  This Great Big Story was made possible by Procter & Gamble. The Champion Wrestler in Drag Cassandro El Exotico, a Mexican wrestler, owns a championship belt. But the biggest difference between this lucha libre wrestler and his opponents is his garb. In a sport of rampant machismo, Cassandro stands apart.  This Great Big Story was made possible by Procter & Gamble.
