Let’s just go ahead and say it: The political climate right now?Outrageous. Stressful. Unpredictable. A lot. Rights are being debated like they’re optional.Policies are shifting like someone’s changing outfits.And entire communities are out here just trying to exist without being targeted. So naturally, people are asking: “How do I even begin to be revolutionary in …

Let’s be honest: trying to keep up with politics right now can feel like emotional CrossFit. Every headline is urgent, every social media thread is a debate stage, and somewhere between breakfast and lunch you’ve read three things that make you want to scream into a pillow.

And this could happen at any age, although I don’t believe that you’re usually truly cognizant of this “feeling” until you’re out of your 20’s. I’m just saying. I loved …
The older I get, the more I appreciate how all of our experiences, both positive and negative, have helped shape and frame the individuals that we are to become. I say "are" because no matter how old we get, we are still evolving, whether you acknowledge it or not. I have called upon and embraced …
I've been thinking about the effects of technology and this social media phenomenon that has got too many of us caught up.
