Welcome back to another Friday, you made it through another week! For me, these weeks have been slow, rough, and draining— today I wanted to remind everyone to take a few steps back from life for a moment, to rest and recharge with me. But something more important has come up and I have to…Read more Challenging the Status Quo: Learning to Unlearn

20 Things I Learned Before I Turned 20
Welcome back to another Friday blog post, my last one for April. I’ve got something special for you today— it’s a special day after all. Though to keep it authentic, I wrote this list yesterday, I get to share it with you right now! Every day that I look back since I've come to Cal…Read more 20 Things I Learned Before I Turned 20
If All Your Friends Jumped Off A Bridge…
First things first, my new post is up on Her Campus so click here to check it out, it’s a bit of a follow up to my last blog post— it gets a little personal but that’s why it’s important. Anyway, happy Friday everyone! It’s been a long week. I was reading some sonnets for…Read more If All Your Friends Jumped Off A Bridge…
Enough is Enough Cal Poly
A week ago, I was getting ready to take part in one of Cal Poly's best events all year: PolyCultural Weekend. As a weekend for cultural clubs to invite prospective students to stay with us and spend the weekend on campus, learning about the culture and diversity we do have to offer as a school,…Read more Enough is Enough Cal Poly
A Quarter Closer to Right
I finished my last final for winter quarter by noon today and just like that, I am one quarter away from being halfway through my undergraduate career (hopefully). I have to say though, I don’t think I’ll miss weeks like this past one. I’ve spent more time studying in the past week then I probably…Read more A Quarter Closer to Right
Redefining a Home
How to accept the flaw behind what's left of a teenage lifestyle and learn how to live instead.
A Black Woman’s Battle Cry
Just like I promised last week, here is my piece that was performed in the Original Women's Narratives Saturday night. Fair warning, there is explicit content in this and it's a bit longer/stronger than what I usually write. For good reason. Growing up, I feel like the conscious stares whenever my classed talked about MLK in…Read more A Black Woman’s Battle Cry
A Little News and New Shoes
After a few sunny days, we’re back to rain here in Slo and we just hit the end of week 9. Finals start in one week. As much as I want to say time crept up on me, it didn't. Between work and class and the life of a college student, things have been pretty…Read more A Little News and New Shoes
Lost in Translation– What now?
I wanted to focus on Black History Month for all 4 of my posts this month, but I feel like this is important to talk through. In the midst of watching the world grow up around me, my goals and hopes rearranged with every step I take. I've got some big plans for my future,…Read more Lost in Translation– What now?
On College
It’s my last blog post of January and somehow, the passage of time is just astounding to me. Somehow the beginning of sophomore year feels like yesterday and last year at the same time (see what I did there?). Yet, here we are; midterms began last week for us and from now on, they don’t…Read more On College
