| Introduction | Welcome into my head and thank you for being here with me! This is a sacred place of a globally conscious, nature-driven, spiritual, wanderlust, activist, creative, visionary, educator, and life-long-learner. This blog has kept me company over the last 14 years from country to country, state to state, and dream-job to dream-job. I cant remember half of what has been written, but is an authentic expression of myself at the time and in the space of that moment. As I re-write this intro, in 2024, my space is Atlanta, GA. (formerly Portland, Oregon and Washington DC). Formerly, my dream job actualized was managing Howard University's (my alma mater) international education program. Now having achieved that goal as well as having done the same at Morehouse College, I am excited to explore new professional opportunities to increase access to and fulfillment in the field of Education Abroad. Life is good. Opportunities plentiful. The Future, Super Bright. |
