Happy Tuesday and welcome to another round of Book Worms; I've got a pretty good read for you today. As you know, it's Black History Month and though I read this book a little while back, I thought it was a good one to bring into my post for the day. Made into a motion…Read more Book Worms–The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

1619 vs. 1776
Last week, I told you all about a teach-in on campus—those were the seminars, free for students to learn about culture or race or just start a dialogue on how different topics present themselves in our lives. I enjoyed it all and it got me thinking a lot about identity and how I define myself as a whole. But there is something we learned about that I hadn’t heard before and it was a huge thought process to look into… Chances are, you haven’t heard about it either.
Redefining Excellence– Black Culture
The more I think about it, the more I question the reason I do all of these things, the reason I feel like I need to; I finally realized why the term “black excellence” isn’t just about pride or ability.
Poetry Place–The Poet X
It’s Black History Month and this is one of those books that I felt was important to bring a bit of attention to. As Acevedo’s first novel, this one is special because it tells a narrative, but through poetry.
Remembering to Grow
I’ve been working on a lot of different things lately, from screenwriting and prose writing (which are incredibly different, something I did not prep myself for) to tutoring and redecorating my walls (multiple times). But I have also been forgetting to notice the things that have come full circle.
If it Ain’t Broke
I would like to think that if something is working well enough then we can leave well enough alone. Then again, just because I would like to think this doesn’t mean it always holds up. That would be far too easy.
A Paradigm Shift–College Style
But, like I said, I’m not always good at being human. Because humans need other humans, for support or love or laughter or company… We need each other. I know that. I’m just not great at living like it.
When Life Hands You Hardship
Last week, here’s what I did: I kept moving. Just like I think we all do. I went to class, to work, did the homework I could remember to do, and I put one foot in front of the other. Because one thing I realized, at least for my situation, it could have been worse. So, so much worse.
Until Friday…

For now, take care of yourselves, take care of each other, and do something a little extra for yourself this week. See you all Friday, I hope you…Read more Until Friday…
Back to the Basics
Welcome to 2020, another year and another day to be thankful for every person who has followed me this far. And I’m starting it off doing something I’ve never done before.
