Let my fingers do the walking



As u all may know I spent a pretty little penny purchasing a pair of Beats by Dre solo headphones. And I have been questioned numerous times by people on said purchase. Everyone keeps asking me are they really that special? And my answer is HELL YES! The purity and sound that comes from these headphones is orgasmic! This post is not meant to brag about my splurge purchase but to talk about the music.

Some of the first songs I listened to were songs that used real instrumentation. I listened to India.Arie, John Legend, Alicia Keys (Songs in A minor I can't bang with the new A Keys), Stevie Wonder, and other artists that have REAL music! But what really got me was when I listened to Montagues vs Capulets by Sergei Prokofiev!! I just can't explain to you how Amazing it was! I felt like I was sitting in the middle of a concert hall! Now I don't know if Dr. Dre intended for me to listen to classical music through these headphones but I did it anyway! I loved it! With all that being said this has made me yearn to play my cello.

I love that I have the ability to make music on my own. I don't have to rely on others to portray the mood I'm feeling (granted I love listening to others make music as well) but there is something about knowing that your fingers produced this sound. I can't wait for my fingers to glide up and down the fingerboard creating notes while my bow crosses the stings! It will be a magical moment for me! My fingers are itching...

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...
