A Break Down of My Personality That No One Asked For. Second Place in In the Stars Challenge.
I'll admit it, I kind of have an obsession with personality tests. I happen to know that I am a Type 3, INTP Slytherin. And what have I done with this information? Besides using it to come up with cool aesthetics, not a damn thing. But do I still click on every single Buzzfeed personality quiz that I see? Hell yeah.

The Never-Ending Story of the Women of Motown
As a child, one of the first CDs I ever owned was a Motown's Greatest Hits CD that I got for my eleventh birthday. Being that I turned eleven in 2009, decades after Motown's golden era under founder Berry Gordy, Jr. had already ended, my music taste led people to believe that I was an old soul. But the truth is that Motown's music is timeless and has remained in people's hearts and minds since its inception in the late 50s.

My Real Life Peach Creek Estates
When you're a kid and you can't drive and nearly every important place in your life is within a three mile radius of one another, your perspective of the world is very small. That's how the shows I watched as a kid were able to convince me that big elaborate adventures were happening in unreasonably small spaces, like the backyard in The Backyardigans or the sandbox in the Rugrats or my personal favorite, Peach Creek Estates in Ed, Edd, n Eddy.

20 Black Love Songs For the Perfect Valentine's Day. Top Story - February 2021.
February doesn't get enough credit for being one of the best months of the year. From it being Black History Month to Valentine's Day on the 14th to the freaking Super Bowl, there is a lot to celebrate in this short month (at least, if you live in the U.S.). And what is any celebration without music? Boring, that's what.

Why I Refuse to Talk About the Chiefs' Loss
If you've read my story Surviving "Killa City", you might know that as a Kansas City native, I am a big Chiefs fan. Which is why this year's Super Bowl definitely was a downer for me. So much so that I checked out right before half time (I didn't even watch the Halftime Show and that's saying something because I love watching the Halftime shows). After spending two quarters yelling at my TV and cussing out the referees for the constant flags against the Chiefs, I knew in order to keep my blood pressure at a normal level, it was best to remove myself from the carnage.

I Hit a Wall. Now What?
Every writer gets to a point when they feel like they have exhausted all of their creative energy. I just didn't expect mine to come so soon. A month ago, I felt as though I was on top of the world as far as my Vocal writing career went after getting two back to back staff-picked stories (as they were called at the time).

Move Over, Real Housewives
I have been very open about some of my more cringe-worthy entertainment obsessions from Glee to Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist and recently, my obsession with Bollywood films. My newest addiction, however, definitely takes the cake when it comes to guilty pleasures, because this time, I actually feel guilty.

Is the Olivia Rodrigo/Joshua Bassett/Sabrina Carpenter Love Triangle the New Miley Cyrus/Nick Jonas/Selena Gomez?
A few weeks ago, I got into a debate with my 14-year-old niece about why my generation of Disney Channel was better than hers. My argument, besides just having better quality shows, was that the current generation lacks the entertainment of the drama that came with the Disney stars like mine did. I argued that the more recent Disney stars couldn't muster up a lover's quarrel like Joe Jonas and AJ Michalka, which resulted in the iconic "Potential Breakup Song" by Aly & AJ. Nor could this new generation provide a love triangle that could live up to the Miley Cyrus, Nick Jonas, and Selena Gomez triangle of the late 2000s. A few days ago, I was proven wrong however.

Surviving "Killa City"
TRIGGER WARNING: Death, homicide, suicide, police brutality In the "Heart of America" lies a city that is close to my own heart. A city that raised me for fourteen years of my life. To the outside world (at least those who care to know about it) it is known for its top-notch BBQ, blues and jazz music, the rapper Tech N9ne, and recently, the current reigning Super Bowl champs.

I Used the Last Money I Had to Tip Other Vocal Creators
Okay, I'll admit, I didn't really use all of the money I had left to tip other Vocal creators (I still have bills to pay), but I did use the last of the money I had in my Cash app, which is kind of a big deal. For the past few weeks, I have been sitting with a whopping $4.35 in my Cash app and now, it's just 35 cents (I couldn't figure out how to send the change). For the past year or so, the money I received through Cash app has been my main source of income. In my freshman year of college, I quickly figured out that I could avoid the stress of maintaining a full time job while in school if I put my writing skills to good use. So for four and a half years, I was the local paper writer for a number of fellow college students, which meant a lot of Cash app payments.
