My revelation.
What felt like a million attempts led to this blog post. This raw-honest post. There’s so much that can be spoken about, but today we will only speak on this: The reality of what comes with expectancy. As someone who everyone expected to be far in life is truly at square one. I’ve dropped out […]

I am an Outkast.
“Out” is to be far. “Cast” is to be the focus. Why is the stigma of being the focus for being far from conformity so degrading? Why is the Outkast labeled as weird, and not unique? Why do Outkasts watch the pack, instead of leading it? Why are Outkasts shunned by society and not encouraged […]

Societal Instruction.
We attend elementary school, then high school, eventually leading up to college. We choose a major to spend a great amount of money to learn. We graduate, settle in our career. Get married, have a family, and the rest is history. Isn’t it crazy how a single person can lay out the blueprint of life, […]

Remember Your Roots.
It is such a rewarding feeling to be at a place in your life when everything seems right. Your goals are starting to launch, money is being made, you are starting to become noticed, and people are actually recognizing who you are. But with all that comes challenges. It is common to want to change […]

As a Girl.
Why is it that generally all children are treated the same, but as time goes on, gender starts to cause division? Kids are free to dress as they want, they are protected equally, and they see no difference in one another… unless they’re taught to see otherwise. As a girl living in 2020, it isn’t […]

Corrupted.
Why Me? Why now? Why us… Masks, masks everywhere. Why are there so many people of color dying? Our brothers and sisters in Yemen are starving. How does the whole world hate our president? Oh, how I miss my freedom. Since when is money more important than people’s lives? Just a handful of thoughts that […]

COVID-19 Taught Me.
I thought eight hours of school was prison, until the stay at home order was issued. Never have I thought in a million years we would be living through something like this, but here we are, and there is nothing we can do about it. Or is there? It has been a while since I […]

Detached.
It has been exactly 24 days since my last blog post. Too long for someone who has made a publicized commitment to stay connected with her community. I am here to explain the answer to a question that keeps me up at night. That question is, “Am I good enough to be an influencer, and […]

Seasons.
We fall, then get back up. Sometimes we jump, we crawl, we slide, we even flip. Whatever movement through life we are experiencing, we tend to always end up back on our feet. But what if we move in a way that leaves us on the ground longer than we expect, unable to bounce back […]
