The personal, the political, and pretty much anything else on my mind
So this was something I’ve been thinking about over the past few weeks and it’s such a vast topic to get into. When it comes to race, where does the church come in? Should POC avoid Christianity? What does the church think about white Jesus? How can the church do better? Colonial Christianity vs. Real […]
MoreSo I made this outfit: It took me 24 hours in total (6 hours over the course of 4 days) and I had no fancy equipment – just needles, threads and scissors. Honestly, it was that easy to make. But obviously, I can’t just leave it there. I’m going to talk about why making clothes […]
MoreNo seriously, you really don’t. If you needed a friendly reminder of that, here it is. First and foremost, I do support people using what they love to support and sustain themselves. It’s creative, it’s smart, it’s strategic. But when you’re doing 20 different things at once to get some cash on the side and […]
MoreI don’t just want this to be a sob story about how hard it has been to live as a black female. I want to give you a taste of how my existence in relation to race changes and develops from a hindsight perspective, knowing what I know now from the bible, academia and from […]
MoreThis is long overdue but I’m gonna address something that I get asked about all the time. “Is that your real hair?” This is a question that floats through the everyday conversation of my life. Every time I post a new picture, every time I go to the beauty supply store for some products – […]
MoreSorry it’s a day late this week guys, it’s been really hard to balance the blog and coursework during quarantine because of my laptop situation. But whether it’s late or finished 5 minutes before the promised time, the blog must go on. This is the first sustainable post I’ve made since I started the blog […]
MoreI’ve been MIA for a few weeks as we all have. A lot of it has mostly been trying to get my degree, my wellbeing, and my relationship with God in check – it’s been hard to adjust to say the least. But the coronavirus hasn’t just been a chance to start taking up new […]
MoreSo, the past week has been super fun. I’ve been working with EZRA, a sustainable sleepwear brand to give some tips for building an ethical wardrobe, and busting myths about ethical shopping. I could talk all day but I’m actually just super excited to show you what we’ve been doing (click on the cute lil’ […]
MoreI’ve seen memes, teens and movie screens (I watched Parasite recently) all portraying the same message. People seem to be so over social class and capitalism. But are people truly done with capitalism? “We could all do better, but we want to save our money to buy more stuff.” I found it quite interesting seeing […]
MoreThis week, I tried to upcycle clothes instead of going thrifting for the pieces I wanted. I’ve just spent a week making clothes from old pieces I wanted to throw out, charity shop items and the works. Trust me, ya girl had a lot of clothes to work with. But I got out my trusty […]
