Shameless self-promotion is truly an under-appreciated form of art. Let me fix that.

I’m just a regular-smegular wife, mom and college student. My house is never clean, my nails are usually chipped with old polish, and everyday that the kids make it another day alive is a celebration in the books! (Laugh, it’s ok) I’m just here to share the things that keep me and my family afloat the boat of the happy life. Some call it mommy … Continue reading Shameless self-promotion is truly an under-appreciated form of art. Let me fix that.

You Had Me At Black (Black at a PWI)

It’s the first day of your freshman year in college.

The day progresses and you go along with your schedule and one thing is uncomfortably apparent, one thing sticks out the most; you my friend, are the only black student in many of your classes. For most, this realization is a … Continue reading You Had Me At Black (Black at a PWI)
