2020....what a year it was. Every single day in 2020 has felt like a humungous mountain to climb. Whether it was losing a family member, turning on the news and finding out another innocent Black life was taken, missing out on monumental experiences, or just getting out of the bed.
This season of my life has quite literally forced me to focus on my present self. I'm usually the type to always focus on the next, or focus on how to better myself and work on things for the future. Most of my goals are always for the future and never benefiting present me. However, with being in quarantine, doing some self reflection and just spending more time with myself, I've noticed…
a year ago today, I started dating my boyfriend, my knight in shining armor, confidant, biggest cheerleader, heart in human form, shoulder to cry on, biggest teacher, road trip buddy, cooking partner, speaker partner (iykyk) and of course my bestie.

If you know me, you know one of my most FAVEEE songs is "Bloom" by blAck pARty. It's a song of self-love and growth. Anytime I play it for my friends or family I always say something to the affect of "this song is dedicated to you guys"or "i hope your flowers bloom".
Last spring break I just decided to go home and spend time with my family and rest. This year I signed up for alternative spring break (ASB) because all of my friends that did it last year spoke so highly of it, so I was very excited to experience ASB! For 25 years, instead of going home or to Miami for spring break, Howard University students have been serving the community abroad…
With the semester now in full force , so is my busy schedule. During winter break, I was extremely excited to come back to school because I had exciting things waiting for me!I like being on the go, but little did I actually understand HOW busy I would be this semester.
please bring happiness, blessings, success, and favor. allow me to be resilient and protect my energy. allow me to love those close to me according to their love languages and bring me relationships that will cater to mine.
I first saw the quote "cultivate kindness" on my cross country trip during the summer of 2016 with a program called Teens Westward Bound (TWB). We were shopping in Jackson Hole, Wyoming in the cutest shop. My friends and I found the jewelry and these cute little bracelets with different sayings. I saw a small gold bracelet that read “Cultivate Kindness”.
