Here is, in no particular order, a smattering of my favorites from reading this summer. 1. The Black Woman: This anthology of writing by and about black women […]
A goodbye video I edited for the Washington Bus. The time has come again for yet another one of my famous exits. The hours are counting down until my flight into hurricane-ready NYC and I am reflecting on every last moment of my summer in Seattle while simultaneously worrying about how my father and I […]
Summer is fast on the approach in the northern hemisphere, and though it may be a blessing to some, it can seem a curse to those who want to keep their skin as pale as possible. Today, I take a look into skin-lightening creams. Much has been said about the harmful effects of skin-lightening creams, […]
I’m back! Taking a week away has cleared my head a bit and allowed me to do some much-needed research and have some much-needed life experiences. Awesome posts to come, but let’s begin with a story for now: last week, I went hiking at Wallace Falls, so today I present you with a few photographs […]
I am going to be heading out to Seattle tomorrow in the wee hours of the morning – I hope it’s a good uneventful flight that I can sleep on! Hello spring break! In the meantime, check out some of my creative projects to bridge the gap.

Each week of the month, I spoke into a […]

I guess that that’s why it’s a cult classic—because it subverts the norms of teen movies and messes with your expectations. Christian Slater was actually really good in this movie, which made me briefly wonder […]
Here are the reviews for this week! Three in-theaters movies for me and a joint review of The Saint from Liberty and I. She has opted for a creative list review style, which is actually quite fetching because it brings new life to the older titles that we are watching. As always, if you don’t […]
JORDAN:Review of The Blue Lagoon:Throwing it back to 1980, we watched The Blue Lagoon. I remember that the first time I encountered this film was on I Love the 80s, a VH1 special that led me to believe it was all about two teens having sex on an island. But this movie was so much […]
