Props: Teachers I have a lot of friends who are teachers, and it’s back-to-school time, right? They’re always complaining about these small children, the crazy things kids do, their salary and blah blah blah. That’s all I could think about a few years ago while I was in college studying for exams, and my teacher…
Props: A Female HER… The moment she walked into that Door That moment when all that surrounded me changed Completely altered because that was the moment she had entered my life Blinded by her light, her ora that exalted off her beautiful brown skin Never have I felt the blessings of a sin that makes…
Props: Greek Life, Sororities, & My Sisters I’m one of the last people I ever thought would Go Greek when stepping on Purdue’s campus as a fresh-eyed youngin’ from Indianapolis. My main concern was figuring out where my classes were in this giant campus with 40,000 undergrads. Then, one of my high school friends asked…
Did you know that you have a super power? You do. You are able to make clean water spring up in dry deserts. You are strong enough to rescue people from terrible situations. You can make food appear on a table. I know! Crazy, right? You might be thinking, “Nope. Not me. I’m just a…

Props: The Best Friend I wanted to take a minute to give props to the best friend, or in my case, to my best friends. Everyone has a best friend, and we are the people we are because of the impact they have on our lives. For that and for many more reasons, I give…
Props: Grit “America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.” America is a country built by people who literally tarred and feathered other human beings that they didn’t agree with. Andrew Jackson shot and killed a worthy adversary in a…
Props to the Good Kind of Crazy, the Bitches, and Treating Women Right I am offering advice to all of my friends and family about how to treat the women in their lives. This right comes to me because I have been a woman for all 22 years of my life. I feel it is…
Props: Tim Howard So I don’t know a lot about soccer even if I might pretend to, (that whole offside rule makes absolutely no sense and there should be more tackling happening), and I will 100% admit to being a fair-weather fan, but no one can deny that I love the World Cup and my…
Props: Sam Smith March 29th, 2014 is a more significant date in the world’s history than you give it credit for. It’s half way to the one month anniversary of a leap year, which is pretty bad ass. Here in Chicago, March 29th meant that we only had to wait one more day to officially…
