So over the weekend, I have been binge-watching the web-series Awkward Black Girl. It was fun, light, and definitely entertaining. I felt guilty for not knowing about the web series all along. In fact, I recently learned about the web series after watching its sister adaptation Insecure just this year. The Black Sex and The City? I […]

I’m taking this class at NYU that focuses on 19th-century novels. Particularly the focus is on married women. Our first assignment was to read a couple of texts surrounding European women of the 19th century. If you read my blogs, you would know how conscious I am with everything.

I’ve been watching a bunch of short films on Issa Rae’s Youtube channel (amazing)! One that stood out to me was titled A Different Tree. It featured a black girl who has been abandoned by her dad. She feels sad about being fatherless and this is something that I and many other black kids had to

With the Shaderoom and The Real promoting us millennials to get out and vote, I wonder how much people will actually listen and get out there. With social media practically promoting clicktivism, I can strongly admit that my generation is extremely lazy. With hashtags serving as the sole voice for the youth, there’s a lack
Recently my roommate and I had a talk about love and friends. Although she usually tries to convince me that her ways are the best, I usually stick to my viewpoints. However, unlike many people I have come across in life, she can actually engage in an intellectual non-argumentative discussion with me. Because of that,

In the midst of job hunting, I am grateful enough to have actually snagged a job (a great one). Over the summer, I was doing two unpaid internships both revolving around writing. One provided opportunities for me to actually get paid and this consisted of flyer work and social media postings. Although the flyer work
