About Yamilux
Hi everyone, my name is Yamilux and this is my first year in Journalism/working for The Burr, but I promise I’ll try my best to make all of my work as interesting as possible. I honestly love to write and express myself through my writing, so hopefully we both get something out of my articles whether it be the suggestions or thoughts that I will be providing. My content will usually be filled with suggestive/review articles for everyone to take from, but I will be sharing my thoughts on other topics when the time comes as well, so I hope everyone is willing to read those too. We’re all working hard to be able to issue everyone brand new interesting ideas, so I hope you all will take the time to read everyone’s articles. Thank you for your time!
