The Path is Where Your Feet Are 🌞👣
I’m a few days out from my 27th birthday. So, naturally, in the spirit of growth, and my deep-seated maturity, I started the celebration the only logical way: crying to a sappy Pixar movie ( you’re never too old to reap the benefits of either🤭). I watched Inside Out 2 and found familiarity in ways…

Affirmation Playlist: The Greatest Love of All 🎧💖🤎🫶🏾🎶🌹
Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Dropping this affirmation playlist that I used to play in the background while getting ready for the day. TBH, morning routines have become such a weird, yucky, compulsory part of hustle culture, and for a while, I felt like I had to meditate, listen to affirmations, etc., just to have the perfect…

A Note of Gratitude…
This week, as I carved out time for gratitude, I realized much of it centers on people in my life: those who hold space for me to be myself, in all my messy imperfection. These people remind me that being human is not something to fix, but something to honor. This post is for them.…

When the Gaze Is Unwanted: Black Womanhood, Body Image, and (In)visibility
The first semester of law school is rough. You get warned about it before you even step foot in your first lecture hall. For me, those warnings didn’t soften the blow; they made it worse. I take my role as my own protector and caretaker seriously, shaped by the little girl in me who had…

We Who Believe In Freedom…
So, I know I haven’t posted in a while. And I know you’re probably expecting some sort of think piece or reflection on last week’s presidential election in the U.S. The truth is, I have a bunch of feelings—just not many I feel like sharing at the moment. What I will say is that this…

This week, I’m sharing an entry from my 2023 journal of delights, a writing practice that pushed me to find the delight in the daily monotony of life (inspired by The Book of Delights by Ross Gay) 2/20/23 I spoke to my dad today for the first time in what feels like weeks. I’ve been…
