In high school, as I was preparing for college, I only had one HBCU on my list and I honestly can’t remember if I ever finished that application (don’t tell my dad lol). After my freshman year of college, at a school that just wasn’t for me, I put two HBCUs on my transfer list. This time, I know I finished the applications (lol). I got accepted to both, but I didn’t go. Instead, I ended up at a PWI … again. At the time, I didn’t know I would feel this way, but after 4 years at PWIs, a part of me constantly wishes I went to an HBCU. Here are 5 reasons why: Continue reading “Why Didn’t I Go to an HBCU?”

Make Time for Happy Hour
Hey guys!
The weekend is finally here, which means we can put the stress of this crazy week behind us.
As a college student finishing my senior year, I’m always all over the place, doing a million things. If it’s not class, it’s work. If it’s not homework, it’s a meeting. If it’s not a meeting, it’s more work. Whether you’re a student, a mom, or a CEO, one thing you have to do, is make time for yourself. When you look at your schedule, where’s your happy hour?

Spring Vibes: Skirts & Sneaks
It’s spring time — which also means it’s “get cute” time (lol). Even though the warm weather puts me in a better mood, most spring mornings, when I wake up to get ready for class, I don’t want to have to think to hard about what to put on. On top of that, even when I’m chill, I still want to look cute. I’m always trying to figure out how I can have it both ways.
Confidently Curly
I don’t often touch on the topic of natural hair nor do I often share my own experiences with my natural hair. However, being a natural girl, I pay attention to all the hype on social media; bloggers, YouTubers, comments made by those in transition that have questions and concerns, and so on… With all of the “natural attention”, I started thinking about my journey and how I’ve grown, being natural. Though many think it is, I’ve learned that most of the transition isn’t magical. Successfully embracing and rocking your natural curls isn’t just about knowing the techniques or about the products. The first thing a natural girl has to master is being confident. Continue reading “Confidently Curly”
