If you know me, you know my experiences with my natural hair (#Solace) have really crafted how I navigate the world as a Black woman. I have written about Black hair for a while and to be a part of the formative growth for CRWN is huge for me! Anywho, that means I'll be working in NEW YORK CITY!

This is really a dream come true (if you want to help make it come truer, click HERE ) and I am so excited to get to the Big Apple and take a bite. Anywho, since I'll be in the snazzy city that is New York, I feel it is only adequate to bring some Detroit-filtered New York style with me. But I need help choosing one thing - my staple shoes! You know, those everyday

  Hello everyone!  How are y'all! I haven't posted in a while, so I figured I would upload some photos from a beautiful day last Saturday. My friend Jesse and I grabbed a comforter and a Nikon & headed to the lawn of Deering, Northwestern's absolutely gorgeous library. Here's some of the photos from the sunny day in Evanston! Pure joy What's a candid? You can see some of the library in my sunglasses lens! I love Deering! This. This is a candid. Beautiful Deering. Father & child. Priceless. Deering says "Hi!" That's it for now! How's everyone's May going so far? I'll announce how mine has been: I received an internship with CRWN Magazine today (for the summer)! New York, look out for me!!! Also, I'll be heading to D.C. for NewsroomU this Thursday, so look out for more photos from that! Xoxo -Si
