Aaliyah Boddie joined The Cosmonaut in August 2025. She currently serves as sports editor. Beyond journalism, she enjoys reading, playing sports, and watching her favorite shows. This year she set a goal of reading 50 books, exploring everything from swoon-worthy romance and goofy love stories to thrilling fantasies and dark mysteries. Her shelves (and heart) hold favorites like “Powerless,” the Shatter Me series, “Obsidian,” the Percy Jackson series, “The Cruel Prince,” “Six of Crows,” “Red Queen,” “Black Bird,” and “The Butcher.” She also loves “Demon Slayer,” “K-pop: Demon Hunters,” and “Ginny & Georgia.” Outside of books and shows, Aaliyah runs cross-country, serves as National Honors Society historian, works out at the gym, and writes to express her thoughts. Passionate about the future, she sees every challenge as a step toward her goals, guided by curiosity and determination.
