Happy Black History Month. Before February ends, I wanted to share with you some Black History in the making that I got to witness.

Over the past week, my Instagram was flooded with my friends’ Spotify Wrapped images and videos. Do you get those? Up until recently, I haven’t been a Spotify user, so I don’t get a “wrapped.” There certainly is something about December that makes you want to count up all of your goods and bads, successes… Read more

I have not been able to help myself from looking at the endless internet discourse on Taylor Swift since the release of her new album. My Lord.
