Alabamian's Viewpoint Living In California
“It’s dry, hot, and it doesn’t rain. Weather isn’t a thing where I’m from. You won’t see hurricanes or tornadoes. Houses don’t just get destroyed due to the weather.” This is something I’ve heard many times from my boyfriend while we were living in Alabama.

The Camino de Santiago Is A Universal Pilgrimage For All
In the summer of 2016, I decided that I would take time out from everyday living to walk the legendary Camino de Santiago. The Camino de Santiago is a network of trails that run throughout Europe with a suggested end goal. The Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, the alleged final resting of St James.

In the Land of the Snow Queen
In a riverside town in Denmark, a little girl and a little boy become the best of friends. Gerda and Kai both come from poor families, with few toys or shiny clothes to wear, and they never get to ride in carriages. But they have each other. Tending the roses that bloom in the hanging boxes between the gables of their parents’ garrets, they form a neighborly bond. They sit together under the flowers, and in wintertime in the yard below, they pelt each other with snowballs, or stick coins to the windows and peer at each other through holes in the frost.

Diarist: Sea Letters
Letters. What we say out loud, but written. I'm fascinated by letters that capture a specific moment of being; when we sit down to write a letter we pour our presence onto the page. We send a piece of our minds, our bodies in an envelope or a satellite wave.

Black Lace for Brown Ladies
When I was in highschool, I was given tickets to a local community theater play. I don't remember it, it was a frothy little comedy, trendy at the time but not a classic. I do remember that towards the end of the play one of the actresses made a big entrance wearing a black lace dress and it blew my mind. It was so elegant! That dress became a goal, the way I envisioned myself as an adult. I soon discovered though, that black lace dresses were only made for white women, with built in linings that were flesh toned only for them. That elegance was beyond my grasp.
