Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
The Chicago Pedway
Chicago is a town with secrets. Beneath the glitz and glimmer of the lake shore, behind the empty facades of knickknack shops and import gurus, and beneath the rumble of trains and the clomp of a thousand feet, stories wait to be discovered. Whispers someone might never find spending an entire life walking these concrete canyons, until they took a wrong turn and let the city swallow them up.

Country Sunset
One lesson I want to take over the years is when to "let go" and not put any pressure on myself in terms of being creative. Leave the phone and the electronics and just "shut down" and be sure to "get shit done" so that all those burdened little things and "musts "are made. Only after it comes that wonderful, joyful freedom back, as well as the core for me to want to create anything at all.

Coming "Home". Top Story - July 2019.
I have always been told that home is a place. It's where you learned how to walk, where your parents live, where you have memories of family game nights, etc. When you become an adult, and the world becomes a thousand times bigger, people tend to try and keep you boxed in. I've had multiple people tell me that travel is fun and all—but I'll end up back home someday.

A Story of When I Died
Now I haven't explored this website very much, but I'm here to tell a story. Not to write an article like "10 places to visit before you're 50" or " How to be a new artist/singer/dancer/painter." It seems like a lot of people are on here and want to be a writer for BuzzFeed or something, but the thing that piqued my interest was telling stories. If you know me, then you know that I am a big storyteller, and I love hearing stories too. I like the idea of this site as a place to write down my stories, almost like a catalog of my stories, and or life. So I hope you enjoy this one!

How to Celebrate Michigan in the Summer
Summer time in Michigan can have many highs and several lows. And I don’t just mean the temperature! There are humidity and water levels to take into consideration when deciding how to spend the day. Michigan’s state motto is “Si quaeris peninsulam amoenam, circumspice,” which is Latin for “If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you.” This means we are literally surrounded by water. Michigan is also half comprised of water—41.5%! Consequently, a lot of summer activity in this state does revolve around water. But that isn’t all there is to do, and hopefully you will find activities on this list to suit all of your summer time needs.

The Road Trip from California to Texas
Four years ago, I found myself sitting in the driver’s seat of my brand-new car with my best friend in the passenger seat. We drove from Southern California to Oregon, camping and visiting with friends along the way. What started as some sort of cheesy rom-com where a friend tried their best to reunite two old friends with a bit of history became a cheesy story of friendship that we still talk about until this day.

My Thoughts After New Orleans . Top Story - July 2019.
Was it in this place of Who Dat's, ghosts of flood victims, or Black eccentric pride that I learned that I am natural? I recall rubbing my light yellow skin, untouched by the 97 degree heat of the ninth ward. Who knew that high dewpoint could make me shed, and get toasty brown. I rubbed the spicy melting lotion into my skin, put on my fresh red pants, and striped Be-Youtiful shirt, ready to explore. After traveling down South I was worried. I did not know how to be around communities of other races that were historically not very kind to women that look like me. I expected that my skin tone would cause my service to be lessened, or to be judged. But, what I learned is that maybe Southern Hospitality is the barrier breaker to what we call discrimination. Although our accents stood out, we were traveling among the 100,000 coming down for the 25th year of Essence! Essence magazine is so important to highlight blackness in business, fashion, politics, and within families. The first issue of Essence was in May of 1970, where the tag "to delight and to celebrate the beauty, pride, strength, and uniqueness of all Black women," and Barbara Cheeseborough graced.
