I am still Black without Struggle
It’s 8 pm on a random Thursday night. My best friend and I spent the day dragging our feet through dreadful lectures, getting stomped out by the stress of finals, and trying our best to enjoy bland dining hall food. Because our dorm is the only place we can escape, we immediately returned and began… Continue reading I am still Black without Struggle
Moving: On & Up!

Because of something called the African Diaspora, I’m not privileged enough to know my full ancestral background and the land in which my family lineage comes from.

A Glimpse of What’s Happening In The City That I Call Home.
The sunrises and then the sun sets. The moon goes down and the day is reset. That’s an indication of a new day. But somehow in this new day and age, everyday seems the same. A young life flowing threw cracks of the streets. Mothers and families singing their melancholy weeps. Gun shots, Bang. They… Continue reading A Glimpse of What’s Happening In The City That I Call Home.
