What Your Mask Say About You

As we all know, we are stuck in a pandemic. One of the main precautions in the pandemic is wearing a mask to minimize the spread of COVID-19.  With students being on campus, Universities are mandating face masks. I interview Claflin University and South Carolina State University students to ask them "what does your face mask say about you".

I first interviewed Janiya Burton-Allen, a student at Claflin University. Janiya says that her face mask says a lot about who she is and what she's for. "My face mask shows that I am contributing to slowing down the spread of COVID-19" I then asked Janiya, "Why did you choose a cloth mask instead of a surgical mask?" she answered, "I chose a cloth mask because it is more comfortable for me, it is thicker, and its also during the winter it keeps me warmer".

Benjamin Gadson, at South Carolina State University, is wearing a mask that has a harp on the right side of it that symbolizes the fraternity he is in, Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia music fraternity.

A student at Claflin University, Nehemiah Brown says that his face represents his favorite color, and it also goes with most of his outfits. 

Miya is a student at South Carolina State University. Miya says that she likes this mask more than the original blue surgical mask because the mask that she is wearing "does not slide down her face" while she is talking.

 

D'Andre Brown, says that his mask says that he is still trying to protect himself and others during the global pandemic. On the right side of D'Andre's mask it says "just wear it" encouraging others to wear theirs
