If i can make it here. My new york times…. Can I Touch Your Hair? They say your hair is your crowning glory. That didn’t resonate with me until I went natural. My hair also didn’t get much attention until then as well. I went natural after feeling the burn of the relaxer (and the scabs that followed) one too many times. I had braided my hair one summer,….

If i can make it here. My new york times…. You Got The Wrong Bell B*%@#. July 17, 2015. I was warned. I should have been prepared. I had heard countless tales of just how rude some New Yorkers could be. But I didn’t listen. I still came to NYC bright-eyed, bushy tailed and painfully naive.

She was a blessing since she helped me find my first apartment as well. It turned out to be the apartment above hers. I had had. It turned out Laci was hired as the Dance teacher at the school...

If i can make it here. My new york times…. July 8, 2015. July 9, 2015. I am breaking up with you. We have been in a relationship that hasn’t fulfilled me for far too long. You are so selfish. You’re like the “friend” that shows up to the potluck empty-handed, but takes several plates (& a bottle) home. You keep taking from me and haven’t given me any. It’s not me, it’s you. I don’t want to be in the same place this time next year. I can’t keep watching people achieve their goals while I r...July 10, 2015...
