welcome to my blog!
my year of (no) rest and relaxation
Hey. It’s been a while. Funny, right? I jumped out the gate on this blog, bored out my mind during quarantine, then got busy, and gave up. That’s a bummer. I haven’t posted on youtube, nor have I written a post in almost a year (it’s much more than that on how long I’ve gone…
my 2021 goals: experience, excitement, and growth
2020 was a very interesting year for me. for as many lows there were, i think i would be remiss if i didn’t acknowledge the great things that occurred last year in my life. graduating high school, beginning my first year of college, starting this blog, turning 18, etc. as i began planning for the…
the loneliness of distance learning
For as long as I can remember, I have been looking forward to beginning college. I’m not sure what it was about college that I was so eager for, but reading brochures and watching youtube “day in the life” videos was a blissful hobby. My high school summers were highlighted with programs on campuses, and…
small bookstore shopping in san francisco, ca
A few weeks ago, I read an article in the New York Times that made me unexplainably sad. It was describing the dire situation small bookstores were currently in due to the pandemic, and the help they needed to stay afloat. And if you couldn’t tell by now, I am an avid reading and an…

let’s talk about popular black female archetypes (and why i hate them)
For one of my classes this semester, I read an essay by Therí A. Pickens about the “ratchet” performance in reality TV and respectability politics. As some one who really doesn’t care for reality TV (with the massive exception of love island!), it was quite the read. I absolutely don’t think anything on reality television…

Breaking Down “Feel Good Inc”
“The Gorillaz cartoons seem more real to me than the actual people on TV. Because at least you know that there’s some intelligence behind the cartoons, and there’s a lot of work that’s gone into it, so it can’t all be just a lie.” -Damon Albarn In 1998, Blur frontman Damon Albarn teamed up with…
Support Black Creativity.
In addition to activism that presents itself as protests, boycotts, and the spread of information, I think it is of the utmost importance that we put our money and attention where our mouths are.

Activism Isn’t a Spirit Week
(And the Art That Inspires Initiative) On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was murdered by an officer of the Minneapolis Police Department while 3 others stood by.
