Ayesha, you are the girl that I never had…
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. This should be a good thing, but it’s actually had the reverse effect for some. While Ayesha is a woman many of us can look up to, her existence has ca

Growing Pains.
In case you haven’t figured it out by now, I’m Asian. This means people automatically assume I’m good at math, bad at driving, and eat dog. It also means I’ll always look younger than I actually am.

Know Maintenance Friends.
The above meme has been reposted on my social media feed by friends and acquaintances a plethora of times now. And why not? It’s a great message that gets to the core of what a true friendship is.

Dear Diary – You Betta WERK Edition.
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
