.looking back: 2024.
What a year it’s been! If you were to tell me in 2023 what my 2024 would look like, I wouldn’t believe it. I never would have thought my life would lead me to where I am right at this moment. The year started out rough, but I married the love of my life, I’ve…

.america did what america does.
My good friend Ella, who lives in Germany, asked how I was doing this morning. I told her I was upset and had a lot of thoughts, and she encouraged me to write them down. This isn’t a piece I want to be sitting on. It’s basically a diary entry. I’m posting it for myself…

Eine kleine Katze namens Tobias
My husband and I will move to a town just outside Munich. Currently, my husband has an apartment in Bayreuth, and I have one in Philadelphia. We’re looking forward to living in a home we can call “ours.” My biggest concern with this move to Germany has been my cat, Tobias. Tobias came into my…

.cheers to love notes and new friends.
Knowing our worth, our limits, and how to set boundaries & determine the access we give. In late 2023, my husband and I started discussing where to live. I am a US citizen, and he is a German citizen. We made a list of the pros and cons of several US and European cities. Jumping…

.Oh nice! Prague!.
My husband and I recently went on a quick trip to Prague! This is one of those cities I never thought I’d go to, but I’m open to anything new. Sidenote: My husband grew up in Hof, Germany, only 25 minutes or so from the Czech Republic border. I have to admit, I was surprised…

.burnout.
I don’t know how my mother did it. For over 30 years, she commuted 1.5-2 hours to New York, worked 8 hours, and then traveled 1.5-2 hours back to our Central NJ home. My mother would do this Monday-Friday and still manage to cook dinner for the family and take me to voice lessons and…

One month ago, I married the love of my life…
It’s weird because if you asked me last year if I thought I’d even have a partner in 2024, I’d say no. I did not believe I would have a partner, but here I am, married. Everything happened pretty quickly, I guess. Some know the story, but I figured I’d share how it all started.…

Beauty and My Hair.
Today is my 10 year hair anniversary! I feel like every year someone asks what that means, so let me start by sharing the story of almost any black girl you’ve ever met. (If you don’t want to read this whole thing, feel free to scroll to the bottom and just look at my hair…
