Last night I had the craziest urge to cut all of...
It’s a good thing I didn’t, because I would have been so tight this morning. The reason behind the urge still stands though. I feel that I really need to let go of something. There is this (I want to say darkness but do not want to support the demonization of all things dark/black, as is done so much in the English language as well as other European languages. Instead I’ll use...

I've been missing my fro!
I’ve been experimenting with my hair a lot lately and for the past two weeks have had it up in several variations of different twist styles. Here are a couple pictures I took when I had it flat twisted on the sides, double-strand twisted everywhere else and pinned up into a side bang. (All that attitude because I was tired as hell seeing as how I had just gotten home from work and was...

Black Women's Beauty
I just got back from the library. I checked out 15 books and am expecting nearly a dozen more books and articles through inter-library loans (and yes my back is killing me from carrying all of them home). I don’t even think I understand how much work this paper is going to be. I am writing a research review paper for my Critical Race Theory Class on Black women and their relationship with...

New Hairstyle!
Lately I’ve gotten pretty bored with wearing my hair the same ‘ol way and have been looking for new ways to style it. After absolutely failing with a new double strand twist technique, wearing a part for the first time and rocking a crazy bantu-knot out fro (definitely did not come out like hers) I decided it was time to try my own thing. I had no idea what it would turn out to be...

Poems need to stop coming to me while I’m doing my work. They keep making me write them down, instead of this paper. Shhhh, quiet poem. You think too loud.

Yeah, that's right. I ball!
That’s me proudly showing off my “Most Improved Player” award for the Women’s Basketball Team. Our season has been over for a while now (don’t ask how we did lol) but I just picked up the award today. I wish someone with better handwriting had written my name though lol  And of course some random pictures, just because. I’m about to leave for NY to spend...
