The end of the semester in grad school is brutal. But it’s just school. In every season, no matter what’s going on, find something to laugh about ♥️

I always like to hear people’s stories to see how they got to where they are today. I shared my “travel story” of how I lived and worked/interned in India, Spain, China, and Vietnam. I hope it’s useful to someone.

@blackgirltravelslay and I hosted our first event yesterday. There’s an undeniable electric energy that takes place when a group of women get together and exchanges ideas, tips, and experiences. We talked about traveling, entrepreneurship, branding, accountability and the importance of helping others in our spheres of influence. There was no pettiness or division. It was a time to uplift and encourage each other to be fearless in pursuing our wildest dreams. I learned a lot yesterday and hope the women did too. Thank you for all who came out. Thank you: @blackgirltravelslay for simply being amazing. @travelbiteswithemily for the amazing photos and photoshoot giveaway. @missaisha__ thank you for the gorgeous pictures . @blackgirlsunscreen for the sunscreen giveaway There’s a blog post on my site: 5 Lessons from Co-Hosting My First Meet and Greet

I spoke with students at my alma mater yesterday. It was good to be back at Juniata (June-ee-ah-tah) @instajuniatacollege after 5 years. When I spoke with the students I shared my path and reminded them I was sitting where they are....literally. I told them: 1. It’s okay not have your life figured out. But follow what feels right and say yes to opportunities that come your way. Also, actively search. Don’t be passive. 2. Intern, volunteer, study abroad. If you’re looking at internships for next summer, a lot of places have deadlines in the fall. You have to get experience in college. Take advantage of programs such as the Critical Language Scholarship, Boren, Rangel Scholars program. Apsia. Etc. 3. I was a sociology major. I told the sociology students to learn a skill too (i.e., learn a critical language, learn how to do graphic design, etc） 4. It doesn’t matter what people think of you: take risks. One student was afraid because people judged her for wanting to teach English abroad after graduation and not getting a “real job.” I told her to do it and don’t look back. 5. Have a dream career in mind? Look at the job description and see what they require. Then start working on gaining those skills. When you are ready to apply you will be the person they are looking for.

Your worth is not tied to your job, clothes, or how many countries you’ve traveled to My dad tells me if I don’t accomplish another thing that is perfectly okay. He is proud of me. And I’m here to tell whoever is reading this the same. In this social media world it is easy to get caught up in trying to always get to the next level. And to be honest, it’s worthless. If you’re always searching for that next promotion, outfit, instagramable vacation shot, you’re never going to be satisfied. You’re always going to be...searching. Beloved, your value is not rooted in your accomplishments or how dope your highlight reel is . Seriously. It’s temporary. You are more than enough and are worthy. Don’t let the world put a value on you. If you do that...you’ll see yourself as worthless. You are loved. Amazing. The bomb.com. I want to see you radiate with joy. Happy Tuesday.
