There are so many times in our lives—maybe more than others—when we don’t see the greatness within ourselves.

Like many people, I have always been hard on myself.

Anxiety is your comfort zone, yet it makes you feel uncomfortable if you step outside that comfort zone.

It’s exhausting but it’s not optional because it’s your livelihood.

As the Dr. Seuss quote goes, “Those who mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”

To everyone who says “All Lives Matter” in response to “Black Lives Matter” or the Black Lives Matter movement in general, why do you say that?

I’m tired of racism and the way anti-blackness creeps into my everyday life.
