51/50 Hospitalization: Rock Bottom
It was February 17, 2020. That morning, I went in for a job interview I didn't really want. I sat across from the interviewer, disinterested in what he was saying. But, the smile on my face did a good job at convincing him otherwise. To my surprise, I managed to get through the interview and land the job.

My Bestfriend, My Mama
My mom was no ordinary woman. In fact, I spent most of my childhood imitating her to someday be classified as the same. I would study her poses as she smiled for the camera and listened intently to her conversations. Not only was her smile contagious, but so was the poise in how she approached conversations. Her grace and selflessness was admired by many and when she departed from Earth (but never from my heart!), I knew that the only responsibility I had was to exemplify the same characteristics as my best friend, my mama.

Dear 25, Welcome!
Years ago, I dreamt about this particular birthday. I'm not sure why; however, I just knew it was one that I looked forward to. As I am now days away from it, I wanted to write myself a letter as a source of encouragement for the 365 days to follow.

It might help you navigate through the trials you will inherently experience in your coming year.

The Not-So-Woke Black Girl
By the title, you can assume one of two things: either I spend a majority of the day sleeping as a Black girl or I’m not as informed (or knowledgeable) of my culture as a Black girl. If you guessed the latter, you’re right. If you guessed the other, you aren’t entirely wrong, but for the purpose of this article, I will be talking about my knowledge (or the lack thereof) of my ethnic background and my personal struggles associated with it.

The Struggles of Post-Grad
In light of graduation season, I thought it'd be appropriate to write this post. The sole purpose of this, rather lengthy article, is to shed light to the unspoken realities of post-grad, and how many graduates face a rollercoaster of emotions in it. If you're reading this, thinking "not me, I'm fine," great! I urge you to send this article to someone who might be in this season now, struggling to find their way.
