I'm still learning to seize the day, to defend and proclaim what I believe. And I think that documenting it all is part of the wonderful journey we call life.

A Review - Part 1: Books
The hiatus is officially officially over. Check out A Review -Part 1: Books
I’ve been thinking about this series for a long time. I’ve spoken about starting it several times, i’ve thought about publishing different versions, but it just didn’t feel authentic or right. Plus, nowadays everyone has a blog, and I recognize mine is just one of the many, but what makes it worth it are the awesome messages of support from readers I’ve never met but who seem to get why I started…

My last blog post I did was somewhere back in October. A quote series. I had this idea to let all the quotes readers were sending to me – wreck my heart or challenge my mind in some way shape or form, and thought I would write about it on a consistent basis no problem.
Except, there was a problem.

Have had a great time at the NCCCMA Winter Seminar today. And I'm extremely grateful for the scholarship that the NCCMA awarded me at the beginning of the year. Without scholarships like these I wouldn't be able to stay in graduate school ! So thank you for helping me in my journey of becoming a public service leader. #uncmpa #NCCCMA (at Sheraton Imperial Hotel and Convention Center)

A little late but extremely glad to have wrapped up the weekend and MLK Day by listening to Dr.Marc Lamont Hill speak here at UNC last night. He was a very powerful speaker - it was a honor to meet him and I look forward to reading more of his work in the future. #mlkday2016

A year in review - 2015

Despite the radio silence on this blog since September… I’ve been thinking about what to post consistently.
I began the quote series in hopes of finding a flow again, finding a consistent slew of concepts and ideas to ramble on and on about, and even then, life got in the way. And so this post, the first of a really long time, is going to talk about that thing called “life” and how it felt this…
