Phylicia Rashad’s Letter to 21-Year Old Self:

Dear Phylicia,Romantic involvement distracts you and can blind you to what’s really in front of you. And what really is in front of you? You are. You don’t even know yourself yet. You think you know and you want to assert that you do, now that you’re a certain age, but you don’t. What’s in front of you is a whole world of experiences beyond your imagination. Put yourself, and your growth and development, first. There are long-term repercussions to what you’re doing now. Everything you do, every thought you have, every word you say creates a memory that you will hold in your body. It’s imprinted on you and affects you in subtle ways—ways you are not always aware of. With that in mind, be very conscious and selective.With high hopes for you,Phylicia

She’s just so amazing.

If Turkey was plated, bottled, shelled, cupped, baked, sweet or succulent, She’d look something like this…

So… We took a wonderful visit down to the beautiful region of Antalya…the area was near Olympos, Turkey. By far, one of the most beautiful and memorable times of my ~~vaca—-~~ study abroad experience…Or as I like to call it, my “social/educational exile”.

Things I learned: Black people truly are a World Wonder to most, The Sea is NOT friendly to natural hair and apparently, I get sick on every trip I’ve ever taken.

As a scholarship recipient, the people who helped make this happen.

The Turkish Coalition of America. Wonderful people.

Beyoglu/Taksim, Istanbul, Turkey.

(Yes…I do look a mess. But that’s not the point. You try hiking through this city lol.)
