What have I even been up? Working from home, spoiling my dog, reading, trendspotting, discovering that I feel like I did when I lived in Huntsville, TX. I felt like I had so many stories and experiences to share but nowhere to do it so I started a blog.
Today everyone is a content creator and I'm trying everything I can to not point at words to music... but it kind of looks like fun. I miss this.
I MISSED THIS:
Tausha reminded me what I love and miss so much- being in a room of boss bitches with something in common. I love when anyone has a side hustle, and for us all to be women who love kicks, *chef's kiss*
I feel like there is still a void in the world for what I do. There was a while where I was like , "I don't think the internet needs me." I don't think I care about that anymore. I just want to share what I like in one place, for me... again. So many times do I just do back to my blog to share a memory I regret not really having that for one of the most pivotable periods of my life.
So a few things. I stopped blogging because I was going through A LOT. I also still felt different when I was doing it. It wasn't as fun for a moment. I I felt like people I worked with thought it was kind of a joke, and I was embarrassed for the first time ever. It didn't help that this city was foreign and I wasn't sure what to write about.
But it's me: I'm the main character.
I am a black/asian woman beating down the sneaker block and I never talked about it. I never shared how to navigate, the sexism, the racism-- even the idea all skinfolk ain't kinfolk. For the last 2 years in person it's been a mission to in person show representation/ host events/ have conversations... I always talk about access but I limited myself and possibly others by not writing.
So I am here on that "devote the next 6 months to your dreams" meme.
