    Black and Brown Representation on TV: Who I Think is Doing It Right

    April 19, 2019 /

    Growing up, it didn’t click that there weren’t many Disney shows that featured black leads in non-stereotypical roles. Off the top of my head, I can think of That’s So Raven, Cory in the House, and later, Shake It Up!, but I was already too old for that. As I’ve gotten older, the conversation surrounding the demand for better representation of all people of color has gotten louder, and that is really going to change the way young children of color see themselves in society. I decided to highlight a few recent shows I’ve watched which I think are doing a good job of representing black and brown folks. I.…

    My Big Obsession with Tiny Homes

    February 7, 2019 /

    There is something intriguing about being able to build a home that is cute, affordable and eco-friendly. I first became interested in tiny homes when I decided to entertain my mother’s idea about watching HGTV’s “Tiny House, Big Living.” She is obsessed with home and garden design shows and has done everything in her power to get me to follow suit. In the summer of 2018, she finally succeeded. Together, my mother and I watched countless episodes of people searching for the perfect tiny homes across the US. Some of them were less-than-ideal, with cramped spaces and no storage (that’s a no from me, dawg). But others were fantastic, boasting…

    Friendships: Expectations vs. Reality

    February 4, 2019 /

    I’ve made and lost friends over the years. I’m sure we all have. All my experiences have led me to better understand the kind of friend that I am and the kind of friends that I want to have. Today’s post is all about challenging the expectations we have about how friendships are going to be and accepting the ways that they often are. People are complicated, so nothing is ever straightforward, and that’s totally okay. Expectation #1 : We’re going to be friends forever! Reality: The good news is that this is actually possible, but it doesn’t just happen. People change, so in order to stay friends with someone…
