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

On Love’s Changing Image– Love, Simon
I’m not quite sure how we got here already, but here we are. Happy Friday Everyone! I’ve been home for a full day, only to leave again soon, but I’m making the most of it.

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

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.

From Food to Family– Holidays Through the Ages
After successfully eating far too much food yesterday and continuing to munch on leftovers throughout the day, there’s nothing quite like the holidays.

Road to Recovery: 5 Ways Back to Okay
You know those jokes that are so funny to you at the time, but when you tell someone else, it's just not the same— like you kind of had to be there? That's a bit like life. From the lessons we’re learning to the people we’re going to be, in the end it looks like…Read more Road to Recovery: 5 Ways Back to Okay
Simply Unapologetic
I don’t know if I’ve ever mentioned this before, but there is one thing I don’t think a lot of people understand just how much I appreciate— I love people watching. I know there are a lot of people out there who spend their time doing it too, sitting around while pretending to be productive…Read more Simply Unapologetic
