(Swipe) This time last year I submitted my 90 page senior thesis as well as produced a 45 minute documentary. As an interdisciplinary senior project, my anthropology and film thesis investigated the social- cultural impact of community reformation post-disaster and the role of Musicians’ Village, a neighborhood formed after the storm, in post-Katrina #NewOrleans. I believe that the story of New Orleans cannot be told without the traditional Black cultural preservers at the center of its narrative, therefore I examined how the formation of Musicians’ Village in post-Katrina New Orleans contributes to our understanding of the post-disaster recovery of New Orleans and the role of its cultural preservation. I found it both necessary and important to acknowledge the conventions of race, gentrification, tourism, and the social-historical issues of New Orleans as it contributes to our understanding of the intersection between the post-disaster recovery of New Orleans and the role of its Black cultural practices. As James Baldwin states in “Many Thousands Gone”, “It is only in his music, which Americans areable to admire because a protective sentimentality limits their understanding of it, that the Negro in America has been able to tell his story” (Baldwin 1984, 24). Therefore I explored the role that Black musicians play in shaping the cultural story of NewOrleans and how that culture is able to be preserved although there has been a recent influx of gentrification. I’m still narrowing down my #gradschool search. I’ve decided on either an MBA, a PhD in Anthropology, or a masters in Journalism, but for now, my former research and links to each of my senior thesis can be found at https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/senproj_s2018/428/ and https://digitalcommons.bard.edu/senproj_s2018/320/

For those who desire marriage: Please understand, marriage is a magnifying glass that reveals you to yourself like never before. Who you are now (your habits, tendencies, struggles) is who you will be as a wife. If you struggle to spend time with God now, you’ll struggle even more then. If you are selfish and impatient now, that won’t change. If you have no control of your flesh, it will still be your master when you’re married. If you haven’t addressed your past, it will follow you right into your future. So many singles spend this season wishing they could just fast forward to their wedding day. They are waiting but they aren’t ready. There is so much to do with the gift of singleness but you’ll miss the beauty and preparation if you’re only focused on it being over. So you wanna know one major secret to having a happy, healthy, godly marriage? Being a happy, healthy, godly single! Your love story begins before the person

When I started my profession as a social worker, I purchased tons of books and resources online. Many of the workbooks were amazing, but I always wondered “why isn’t there a black girl on the cover and just images of white girls”....soon enough, I found myself applying to doctoral programs (rejected back to back) because I wanted to do my research and work around Black girls. I got tired of how they were being presented in the media and seeing the lack of resources that were readily available for our girls. This book is for the 14 year old version of me who couldn’t tell her parents about experiencing childhood sexual trauma and dived into reading magazines like @teenvogue as an outlet. It is my hope that this books gives them the safety to feel supported and empowered and find healing through the reading and guided activities in here. This is for you LINK IN MY BIO

+ lemme stop being crazy ... SIKE.

Today was the best day I’ve had in a WHILE! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The sun was shining ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The days are longer ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I spent a ton of time with Chai, going for our late afternoon walk + hanging out in the garden (captured some of this in my stories today). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Had a SEO strategy call with my babe @kate.killoran that is going to 10x my website/blog traffic this year (and I FINALLY understand SEO as a result —finally!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ‍ Actually, um, started feeling EXCITED about creating content again! (I was worried for a minute there.) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Found out that I have officially been accepted into the NEXT ISSUE of @mantramagazine with my article: “5 Things to Try When You’re in a Creative Rut.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It’s been a while since I felt as good at the end of the day as I do now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What shifted? I woke up and clothed myself in gratitude this morning. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes life makes it so that the only option is to stop focusing on what isn’t working and start focusing on the miracle of life itself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Then—boom. You’re back. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sidenote: This is an old pic from last year that I never got around to posting. My blouse and skirt are both thrifted! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #creativitycoach #multipassionate #mycreativecommunity #creativeabundancetribe #creativehappylife #blackgirlswithgardens #secretsofgreen #houseplantcommunity #21ninety #chickswithplants #blackgirlskillingit #creativeentrepreneur #creativesofinstagram #wearethecreativeeconomy #creativepreneur #calledtobecreative #herestothecreatives #creativityfound #calledtocreate #creativelifehappylife #browngirlswhowrite #creativityeveryday #goalgetter #seekinspirecreate #theinstagramlab #creativesontherise #bloggersofinstagram #ipreview #houseplantclub #whatjoiknows
