I’M FINALLY BACK! SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED BETWEEN NOW & MY LAST POST. ONE HIGHLIGHT BEING THAT I MOVED TO ANOTHER CITY. I WAS FINALLY OFFERED A POSITION THAT I WANTED, THAT NEVER HAPPENS. THE PREVIOUS CITY THAT I LIVED IN HAD BEAUTIFUL SCENERY & IS THE BEST VACATION SPOT. PEOPLE WONDER WHY I LEFTContinue reading “TWICE THE NEW BEGINNINGS”

It was Easter Break of 2009, when I was at JFK Airport feeling beyond excited that I’m finally going to the homeland that is Africa, South Africa to be exact. I don’t think anyone was as excited as me (except the other black students that went). The flight was super long, but I love airplanes,Continue reading “10 YEARS AGO I WENT HOME. PEOPLE PRESENCE.”

I wanted to make this post last month, so that it would be even more special. This past April marked my 10 year anniversary of going to South Africa. This wasn’t just an ordinary trip, this was my first time out of the country, and my first time on an airplane. I was super excited,Continue reading “TEN YEARS AGO, I WENT HOME. (INTRO)”

The next morning, my friends and I decided to hang out before I left to go home (my Taiwan home). We walked around town and had good conversation. The friends that I made here in Taiwan mostly live very far from me, only one lives in my town. Sometimes, it sucks but, if I hadContinue reading “HOME TO HOME (CONTINUED)”

I’ve been living abroad for 8 months now. This was the best decision I’ve ever made. I felt that, if I turned down this opportunity, it would’ve never came again, plus, I was ready to go forward with my life. I’ve been doing very well, finally blossoming. I also love my new environment and quicklyContinue reading “HOME TO HOME PART 1.”

I never had any specific plans for my 21st birthday. I assumed that I’d just have an intimate birthday dinner. But that changed when I was finally given the opportunity to study abroad in Costa Rica. 🇨🇷 Going there was on my bucket list (not that I ever had one), it seemed like a paradiseContinue reading “CHILL 21ST BIRTHDAY.”

This year, many friends and family of mine went to New Orleans to celebrate Mardi Gras. It was the top subject of my Instagram and Snapchat timelines. There even was a huge Mardi Gras influence in my homestate.  Seeing their Mardi Gras experiences has brought back great times during my summer stay in New Orleans.Continue reading “ZYDECO”

In the small, Christian high school that I attended, we had the option of going on a “missions trip” during Easter break. These trips began my sophomore year. That year, we had the choice of going to England, South Africa or Washington D.C. Based on my interview, I was chosen to go to D.C. TheContinue reading “WELCOME TO AMERICA!”

As a black woman with darkskin growing up in the US, it was easy for me to hate myself as a child. I noticed at an early age that the darker your skin was, the uglier you are. I’ve been called all kinds of disgusting names by classmates and even family members. I remember aContinue reading “BLACK INFLUENCE WORLDWIDE: FINALLY LOVING MYSELF.”

The Grammy’s were on this week. I never watched the Grammy’s because: I never knew when they were airing, and I never been a fan of award shows. Also, awards shows aren’t worth watching, especially now. I remember one year when Ellen Degeneres hosted the Grammy’s. I went to school the next morning to hearContinue reading “BLACK INFLUENCE WORLDWIDE EDITION: REPRESENTATION MATTERS, GRAMMYS 2019.”
