Another year has come and gone. This year I wanted to root down and settle into my life. I feel like I didn't quite achieve this vibe, and that's okay. There were a lot of external factors influencing this feeling, but I've worked on those things and I think settling in will happen more naturally… Continue reading My 2022 Vibe (podcast)

An Ode to Writing for the Sake of It
You have always been there to support me, but I think I have neglected you of late. I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention to lose my way, but pathways intersect and divert so easily that I became blinded and the destination less clear. I say I don't know who I am but I am a… Continue reading An Ode to Writing for the Sake of It

I loved it! It was a lot to consume, hence why it took me a while, but he had a down-to-earth way… Continue reading Anti-Racist Book Recs: “Natives” by Akala
Free podcasts and videos that help with anti-racism (that I’ve listened to or watched)
Not everyone has the money for books or the time for lengthy reads, but we all can spare time to listen to podcasts and videos that are summing up a lot of what the books are saying. Nothing can REPLACE reading a book, but so far I've seen authors and speakers share their views and black… Continue reading Free podcasts and videos that help with anti-racism (that I’ve listened to or watched)
