Outside of this blog, I have another blog, and work published in other places. Below are links to my other publications.
These are my first published pieces, in The Michigan Daily. I was a contributor to the Michigan In Color Column (Mic) during my junior and senior years.
“The media’s perception of Black people needs to change; only then can we create a more positive environment for Black people to grow up in.”
“Being Black in a white world is exhausting. While other people get to live their lives, oblivious to instances of racial injustice, Black people are not afforded that same privilege.“
“So now I have one more thing to think about when I’m in a public space and white people are present. Am I just a person, or am I a target that day?”
Additionally I was selected to publish two poems (one of which is on this blog as well) in The Black Woman’s Latitude. Sadly, the group recently has come to an end after publishing its second zine.
