A Black Boy in an Anti-Black School

Yesterday, my mom was going through a bunch of old papers and finding out what things she needed to shred and get rid of. There were documents from all parts of our lives, from Duncan (my lab who passed away almost three years ago) and his many medical procedures to…

Returning to Why I Write for Myself

Writing for myself is something I’ve been trying to prioritize this week. While working on my thesis, I’ve gotten this sudden impulse to document or just be prepared to keep track of everything happening this last quarter. I had this spur moment in Grand Central Station last week while in…

What is Within My Control

I have tried my best this past week to really just be on my own time. I think that in these moments where you do have some chance at getting to at least separate your present moment from the rest of your life, you should take the chance. This sort…

Setting Up for the Final Chapter

There are just many, many different things I am contemplating or ruminating on these days, but I haven’t given them much time to sit. Yesterday, I submitted my last final as an undergrad, effectively bringing myself to the final step toward actually graduating (finishing the thesis). It was an anti-climactic…

Tragedy’s a noun that has two different, related definitions in the Oxford dictionary: an event causing great suffering, destruction, and distress, such as a serious accident, crime, or natural catastrophe. a play dealing with tragic events and having an unhappy ending, especially…

Where Do Your Principles Lie?

Where do your principles lie? I’m asking that as a serious question not just because of the events from yesterday, but because I’m asking myself seriously where I lie in terms of conversations surrounding where the state of things both as an organizer and the world in general for younger…

Against Grief

How do you know when you’re grieving? And how do you understand the source of it? It’s an honest question I have to repeatedly ask myself. I see this end of a chapter in my life in the near future, a time to embark on something new that should be…

How About House

Oontz oontz. Okay, maybe not that, but lemme explain. I think I’ve written a good bit over the last few years about music. I do the annual music lists where I go over my favorite projects and songs each year. I write about the different artists I’ve seen in concert…

Sacrifices?

Sometimes I have to ask myself what brought me to a particular moment in time when I have been able to come to the necessary conclusions about how the world works. So much of my daily time, I spend energy just asking very critically about my relationship with my future…

Where is my Third Space?

I’ve been thinking a lot about third spaces this year. You know, it’s the place about trying to find spaces where you can come together with friends and just bond over anything that isn’t home or work (also school just as much). Over the course of the last three years…
