Things I Learned in Quarantine
Short version: nothing. No, but for real, I didn't. It's been a hot minute since I felt the mental freedom to write. The year feels like it's on velocity mode and yet the days felt twice as long when the events of Feb. 1 took place. I left Yangon, my home for the past 3… Continue reading Things I Learned in Quarantine

The Influence of Others

In many of his interviews he finds some way to shout-out The Bahamas and every time he does, it brings a smile… Continue reading Why Representation Matters
Monetize the Blog or nah?

I've written about most aspects of my life: the early days of my natural hair journey, my perspective on Bahamian issues while living in the US, my one year journey of trying out being vegan etc...I like documenting this life's journey and reading the stories of… Continue reading Monetize the Blog or nah?
Black People and Hobbies
I was looking in my drafts to see what old ideas I could refresh and add to...this one came up. I'm leaving most of it as-is so the time period being referenced was June 2020. First of all...whew chilay! Semester is over and cheers to the end of my 2nd year abroad in Myanmar. I… Continue reading Black People and Hobbies
