I had to post this! I saw this on my Facebook feed a couple days ago and had to share it. Director Bill Duke is preparing a new documentary, Dark Girls, exposing the prejudices within the Black community about skin color. Indians and Asians aren’t the only ones who have this issue. Take a look. […]
Je me souviens de ce que Haïti était une fois.
“I remember what Haiti once was” These are the words I heard when I went to a Haitian family friend’s graduation party this past Sunday. As we are chowing down on savory goat, rice and peas, and plantain, one of the family members spoke passionately in her thick French-Haitian accent about the Haiti she […]
Gostaria de ser gordo, se eu fosse brasileiro
“I would be fat if I were Brazilian” This is what I experienced last Saturday when my parents and I went to the delicious Brazilian steakhouse, Nelore, to celebrate my birthday (which was May 2nd. We celebrated late). It is a more unique and original version of Fogo de Chao. Nelore is in Houston […]
The Joy of Banter
Last night I was invited by my father to attend an atheist meeting. AN ATHEIST MEETING? Yes, those exist. I have always found it slightly odd considering I nor he is an atheist, but I went just for kicks. I did not know all of the people there and was a bit weary about how […]
TWISTER, cont.
I stupidly didn’t add the actual Joplin Tornado! You can see the multiple vortices. This is horrific.

This tornado was classified as an EF4 tornado, however, after more information has been received, the tornado has been updated to an EF5 tornado, the strongest of them all. What tickled my fancy is that this tornado was multi-vortexed. I am […]

Figuring out my spring break style before my trip
Guest post written by Diana Henry I’m notorious in my group of friends for taking a really long time to get ready before we go anywhere. Well, a big part of that is actually figuring out what outfit and accessories I’m going to wear. I’m so indecisive and even if I leave out an outfit […]
wait I know you…
So tell me why every time I go somewhere let’s say a party or other social events I get called out. I know why. I was like the dot in a glass of milk at my old high school. That’s why. “Oh wait! You were the black girl at my school!” Yes considering there were […]

Welllllll technically…oh goodness I don’t know what it is technically supposed to be but I am going to explain […]
