Winging It Since 2010
I love to read. It’s the only thing where you can be whoever you want and go wherever you want without even leaving your seat. I thought for a long time about whether or not I would say something about the last book I read, as I turned the last page with my mouth wide… Continue reading The Future is Female- A Look Into The Power and Female Empowerment
Part of being a writer is identifying what kind of story you want to write which leads to the kind of characters you will ultimately create. This can only be done when you are able to figure out what kind of person you are. There are many kinds of personalities which can manifest as… Continue reading The Ambiverted POV
“I call myself Black because that is who I am. Blackness is a label that I do not have a choice in rejecting as long as systemic barriers exist in this country.”- Morgan Jerkins, This Will Be My Undoing. I am a Black woman. I have always been a Black female and that in… Continue reading How Black Are You?
Upon moving out of my first post-college apartment, I stumbled upon a storage file box labeled “College.” Being the curious creature that I am, I decided to take a trip down memory lane eager to read through some of my past assignments. How much had I really changed in those mere three to seven years?… Continue reading Let’s Do the Time Warp
“You have any brothers or sisters?” “No, I’m an only child.” (Blank stare) “Really? I would never have guessed. How was that growing up?” (Shruggs) “I dunno… kinda sucked as a kid. I was a bit lonely.” And cue the awkward silence as the conversation goes into an entirely different direction. Sound familiar? April 10th… Continue reading Ode to the Only Child

He’s become fascinated especially with US presidents, which all in all makes sense since he is learning about money and various denominations. In light of this, and in addition to my own history obsession, I have begun to collect biographies for… Continue reading The Black Child’s Parent’s Burden

Really, I could kick myself in the face for not majoring in it in the first place, but that's neither here or… Continue reading History has its eyes on you
Ehh, because I am, Mr. Miranda… I really am… (please note the title is taken from song "Non Stop", from the incomparable Lin Manuel Miranda) Oh hello. (In her best Deadpool/Ryan Reynolds voice) I’m so glad you managed to catch me in the midst of all my mess and chaos. I’ve been gone for quite some… Continue reading “Why Do You Write Like You’re Running Out of Time?”
If you would've asked me about five years ago if I would've ever gotten a tattoo, I would've probably looked at you like you were crazy. Truth be told, I've always admired the tattoo art form but just never wanted to go through the pain. I was scared, honestly. I was scared of the reputation… Continue reading Tat…Tat…Tatted Up
