Hangover...


No this isn't a post about one day when I woke and couldn't remember the night before nor about how hilariously funny the movie is...but about how I will miss two very important people in my life. Since my time in Michigan I have met a lot of people. And a few of them will be friends forever but these two amazing and dynamic women are something special. What I will miss most is moments like this sitting up eating Coconut shrimp and laughing at the nonsense that is The Hangover.


You see being a Michigan student it's very hard to not be surrounded around academics. There are not many opportunities in which we can sit and be people. And I love the two of them because I am able to just be me. They know everything there is to know about me and accept me. And I haven't really found that since the 4th grade!

But I say all of this to say that I will miss them so much when I'm all the way in VA! But I do believe that no matter what the distance I will always have Christina Carter and Brittney Williams in my life! Thanks for always being there for me ladies!

    I WILL MISS YOU TOO BESTIE!

    How ironic is it that we're watching The Hangover. Remember our pact? Hopefully I'll stick to my word and the three of us can create our own memories in Vegas (maybe not to that extreme...well possibly...)

    You are one of my FAVORITEST (Michigan difference word!) people here at U of M and you've definitely helped shape my college experience. It will not be hard to say goodbye because I know a) you'll be back or b) I'll still be balling on refund checks and I'll have enough to visit you. Love you B3!!!!

Guess who's back?!

Remember when I said that this blog was going to be a space where I discussed and highlighted my PhD journey? Now, remember when that didn't happen? Getting a doctorate is HARD, y'all. And, you may being saying, "duh, girl! We know!" but this journey was one of the most difficult journeys I have ever been on and because of that fact, I didn't have or make the time to update this blog. It simply wasn't a priority and I was trying to stay afloat for the past four years. So, let's recap a few things. I proposed my dissertation on October 5, 2019, started collecting data in January, defended my dissertation on April 19, 2019, and graduated on May 2, 2019!! So, now that all of the milestones have been mentioned, and I have more time to dedicate to other types of writing, I'm going to highlight my journey retrospectively. Sit back and get ready to hear all of the academic tea!

Ode to Ann Arbor

In about 4 days I will be saying farewell to Ann Arbor. And like I said before I'm excited to be going home but there is also a saddens that surrounds my move. I have done a lot of growing, changing, experiencing, and evolving here! So to have to say farewell to all of that is going to be difficult. I will miss: 1. Second Baptist!! I learned a lot about myself at this church. I am glad to call this my church home because without them I would probably be a hot mess! The one thing I can say faithfully is that my journey with them is not over! There are still things that need to be done here I will be back! 2. My friends!! I have met so many different people here. Some that will never leave, some that kept me entertained during class and others that I have drifted away from. But they all had a part in Michigan experience. 3. Gamma Delta! I have been through a lot with these young women and couldn't have asked to be part of a better, more productive, or more illustrious chapter!! T...

Elena I Choose You...well not just you, also somebody else, but mostly you.

When I started my PhD journey, I was under the impression that I was some Golden Child chosen by my advisor to be her one true protege. That she had waited years upon years for me, and that once we communicated in was written in stone that I would be her student. That her and I were going to be handing out proverbial academic cuss outs to the sport management world about how they were systematically leaving Black women out. That's not exactly what happened, during the week of orientation, I found out that my advisor had brought on another student. I...was hurt. I felt like I wasn't enough. I...felt inadequate.  Inadequate : in·ad·e·quate /inˈadikwət/ adj : not adequate : insufficient : lacking the quality or quantity required; insufficient for a purpose. That feeling of inadequacy, those thoughts, they stayed with me throughout the entire program; exacerbating feelings of inadequacy that were already there.  Why was I not enough?  Why did she need someone e...
