Darian, Being a black woman in America won’t be easy. It will come with fear and sadness; and you’ll find that sometimes doing everything right still might not be enough because of the color of your skin. Being told that you’re “pretty for a black girl” and that you’re either “too white to be black” or “too black to be white” will be something you hear quite often growing up in a predominately white elementary and middle school. It can be hard to stop letting other people change

Interviewed by Miranda I’m originally from New Orleans, Louisiana where I attended Louisiana State University. Much to my dismay, I am not a trained dancer.  As a student at LSU, I took a few dance classes and got the grand idea that I would try out for the two LSU dance teams- the Tiger Girls, and the Golden Girls. I failed miserably and did not make either team. Call it overly ambitious or just dumb luck, I tried out for the New Orleans Saintsations two weeks after failing

  I had the honor of interviewing Alumni Carla Powers! Carla cheered one season from 77-78 and got the opportunity to be a part of Super Bowl 12 in New Orleans against Denver.  It was so cool to hear all about her time as a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and share stories based on both of our experiences. Carla grew up in the DFW area where her father worked for the Dallas Morning News.  They had season tickets and would attend games frequently which allowed her to be very

  An Omaha, Nebraska native, Beverly moved to Dallas at age 19 to pursue a job opportunity. While in Dallas, she competed in the Miss Texas Universe pageant where she saw an advertisement for the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders auditions. She had a background in cheering from her high school days and decided to go for it. Beverly went on to cheer from 1973-1976 and also served as a group leader.

THE DCC SISTERHOOD: A TRADITION OF BONDING AND INSPIRATION By DCC Savannah   I had the pleasure of interviewing Alyssa Rouls, a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader alum who cheered during the 2010 and 2011 season. Alyssa grew up in Ohio and distinctly remembers watching football on TV throughout her childhood. She chuckled when she told me her dad was an avid Cleveland Browns fan who would get a little annoyed when his daughter only wanted to watch Dallas Cowboys games. It wasn’t the players that Alyssa wanted to see though. She
