Starting at a very young age, I practiced the mantra “Chicks before dicks” and always chose my friends before my boyfriends. Was there any other option? They were there for me before, during and after every beautiful disaster. I followed this even when it wasn’t always reciprocated. In time, I learned that this was the norm, this was life and I accepted it. The other day I got notice that my best friend’s birthday dinner was rescheduled to a night I had already made plans wit

Warriors fan or not, you know who Stephen Curry is. And if you’re an actual fan, then you are also familiar with his spunky daughter Riley and God fearing wife Ayesha. While Riley emerged a star last season due to her sassy post-interview cameos, more recently Ayesha has been taking social media by a storm for being … herself.

I’ve known my “ride or die” since college, back when we would have class together and then call each other while

Hi. In case you didn’t know yet, I can be somewhat of a control freak when it comes to certain things. My feelings, and especially my writing always need to be put in check. So please excuse me while I suppress my OCD ever so momentarily to “free write” this post. About a month or so ago I wrote this post about a long overdue leap of faith I took into the world of “Funemployment,” and barely a week later I got hired for a job (that I wasn’t even supposed to interview for) the
