Hello, good people lucky enough to stop and read this blog entry.

My name is Anthony Ashford, and I am just starting out as a blogger for Campus Pride, which, prior to 3 weeks, I did not even knew existed. Now, I do and I am so glad about it, and I'm especially thankful to Shane Windmeyer and Campus Pride for giving me the opportunity to get my voice and views out to our World Wide Web in a space where I know they appreciated and understood.

PERSONAL INFO:

Currently, I attend Ball State University as a junior majoring in Film and Television Studies and minoring in Multiculturalism and Leadership Studies, with aspirations of becoming a LGBT rights advocate and educator, as well as an overall educator and advisor for Student Affairs at a university. Also, in my future aspirations, I am a novelist/essayist currently and I would love to get my works (fiction and non-fiction) published.

At BSU, I am involved in a number of university organizations including, but not limited to: Spectrum (the undergraduate GSA on campus), Black Student Association, Residence Hall Council (acting as Diversity Chair), GLACURH 2011 Conference Staff (acting as Entertainment Chair), and Ball State Quidditch League (which before it is asked, YES, we DO run around on brooms).

My organizations are not the only thing that keeping me occupied.
I work two part-time jobs...because I am but a poor college student like most of you.
When I'm not working, I love to bike recreational around my hometown, Fort Wayne, IN, and...
I love to write...not just about LGBT stuff, but fiction...especially thought-provoking mystery-thrillers and unique comedies.

Right now, I am in the middle of writing three novels:
