Traveling Abroad as a Person of Color:
The Underlying Reason Behind our Lack of Representation
You can’t really pinpoint the moment when “it” happens while traveling abroad as a person of color; but when “it” hits, you are incredible self-aware.
I sat on a hard red seat inside a crowded metro train in Paris on the way to an activity when I was hit with “it”.
Hi. I’m a millennial and I don’t have cable. Whew! That feels good to admit. Sure, it’s not all glamor and sunshine, but I’ve learned to live without it for over six years. Living this kind of cable-free lifestyle has its own set of pros and cons. If you’re thinking about cutting your cable subscription, take a look at my journey to help decide if it’s the right choice for you.
What do you think restaurants established in 1725 smelled like? If I had to guess, I’d say restaurants in those days smelled like melted pork fat heavily seasoned with course salt — or something like that. Actually, I know that’s what a certain restaurant smells like. The scent I recall was similar to my grandmother’s kitchen on a hot summer’s evening in June,
When you’re angry, tired, and stressed out something needs to change. Immediately.
That was me just about every day. I woke up feeling like I didn’t get enough sleep and there were too few hours in the day to get what I needed done. At work it felt like everybody needed something from me. Emails, phone calls,
I ride the Metrorail (aka- “metro”) every day to work and sometimes on the weekend when I venture to the heart of the city from outside the beltway.

I’ve done something wrong. I’ve been very bad.
When I first started blogging in 2016 I thought it would be fun to share what I’ve learned with the world and I still think it’s true; but, I lacked a plan and a weekly planner. Without a plan, I stopped blogging because the no-plan plan isn’t a sustainable blogging model.

On the one year anniversary of my epic Parisienne adventure, I thought it would be helpful to create a quick video about the pass that allowed me to realize a hug portion of my art-loving dreams: the Paris Museum Pass. What is it? Where should you buy it? How much does it cost? Is the Paris Museum Pass worth it?
When you think of Nashville, what comes to mind? I think of the Grand ole Opry, country music, cowboy boots, and a big star. Maybe the star is more of a Texas thing? I dunno. I also didn’t know what Nashville had to offer in terms of food until I had an excuse to visit and see,
What do you do when you only have 48 hours in Nashville? I mostly want to eat, but I did my best to cram as many things as possible into my short 2-day stay in the Grand Ol’ Opryland! My cousin is getting married in Nashville, TN, which is the real reason I jumped my happy self on a plane to celebrate with her.
What are the first 51 days of marriage like? I don’t even know what to say sometimes. I’m happy, grateful, humbled, thankful, and honored to tears that God blessed me with a wonderful man. After our honeymoon we slowly began to reintegrate into society, navigating the new world as a first-time married, no kids having couple.
