Wow... It’s crazy to believe we’re nearing the end of the first month of 2021. Not sure if you’ll agree but 2020 felt like the longest and fastest year of my life. Last year was full of highs, lows, joy, sadness, tears and laughter. All of which were experienced before Miss Rona popped in the [...]

What I Haven’t Said
I’m heartbroken. My heart is heavy as I think about the murder of another unarmed Black individual. Watching him narrate his final moments on earth was one of the hardest things I’ve done. These traumatizing occurrences keep happening, and I ask myself: “When will this end?” “Am I or someone I know next?” “Will I [...]

Conversations With Caleb: Being a New Nurse During a Global Pandemic
This pandemic has given me an entirely new appreciation for healthcare workers. They continue to risk their lives to selflessly serve us on the frontlines. A healthcare worker in my life is one of my best friends/big sister Ashley McElhaney. Ashley is a nurse in the Metro-Atlanta area who graduated from nursing school in December [...]
Teachers, Thank You
It’s true when they say “not all heroes wear capes.” This week is National Teacher Appreciation Week, and I can’t help but think about the educators who have made an impact in my life. Not only did their lessons inside the classroom make a difference, but so did their character, mannerisms and life lessons not [...]
Growing Through This
This still seems unreal. My biggest concern at the beginning of March was trying to create a more structured daily routine that incorporated resting and reading. I never thought a global pandemic would arise and change everyone’s life. This lowkey feels like the scene from “ATL” when Rashad abruptly snatched New New’s necklace. She was [...]
Dive In
Stepping out is scary. Whether it’s starting a new career or side hustle or moving to pursue a dream, it's nerve wracking to risk it all. I saw a story on “Good Morning America” a few weeks ago about Briana Owens, an entrepreneur who quit her full-time job to pursue her passion. Briana opened Spiked [...]
March = Me
This might sound a little wacky, but I love learning about people’s routines. I can sit for hours and watch influencers' morning, daytime or nightly routines on Youtube. Their routines always seem to showcase them getting up at the crack of dawn, accomplishing several work tasks, making an elaborate dinner and finding time to have [...]
Asking All Them Questions
Millennial life is interesting. I absolutely love it, but I feel like there’s pressure to have it all together- life, career, marriage, family... everything. Going out can sometimes feel like an interview when I run into people I haven’t seen in a while who want a full life update on demand. There have been several [...]
January Taught Me
January. That’s all I have to say. I feel like a lot of us had an interesting January. Mine was honestly all over the place and just weird. There were things I didn’t see coming, but I’m definitely wiser because of them. With that being said, I thought I’d share a few things l learned [...]
