Change Is Here
It's Been A Long Time Coming The events that have taken place over the U.S., have been incredibly raw and painful but they were predictable and truly not shocking. I say this as a Black woman who was taught that "not every white person is bad, but you can't trust all of them." This wasn't something I was born into, I was taught that. I used to think that this was an outdated thought pattern that we as Black people carried and held onto for way too long. I then realized what we were taught wasn't coming from a present perspective but a 500 year old one. Our ancestors have been speaking through our DNA.

"It's Ok... You Can Come Out Now..."
Nowhere in my young life did I ever expect to be living during a pandemic. Being quarantined to stay healthy hasn't been the issue. What it's truly been is an inconvenience. My days were no different than what they are now, the only difference is that I can't just pick up and go wherever I want to at the moment. I can honestly say that this little shutdown has been more beneficial than not. Money has been saved, life re-calibrated, my future looks brighter, and I've taken steps in a new direction to make sure I am being true to myself in many areas of my life. I needed this space to find myself again, no question about that.
