The Color of Compromise
About six weeks ago, I joined a zoom meeting and had no idea what to expect. I was the youngest person in the meeting, and the entire meeting was uncomfortable and interesting. We watched (or listened, rather) to an episode of “The Color of Compromise” and had an open and honest discussion afterwards. I was… Read more

My journey to squat out a baby
After nearly 42 weeks of being pregnant, the time had finally come to evict baby girl Brice. Of course, she couldn’t just come out easily. This is my labor story. At 41 weeks pregnant, my midwife scheduled my induction for Monday April 29th, with me going in Sunday night to start Cervidil. But my body had… Read more

Pastor Urshanna was needed elsewhere, so Pastor Katrina spoke in her place. And she brought down the house! Katrina opened the night with this visual from Ephesians 3:1-8: Paul… Read more

Modern art
On September 23rd I went to the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) in Chicago to see the acclaimed Takashi Murakami exhibit: The Octopus Eats its Own Leg. It was the last weekend to see the exhibit, so I bought some tickets beforehand and was able to snag an early time to avoid most of the… Read more

Do you even riot, bro?
Riot Fest Chicago 2017 was this past weekend. It was only my second time attending Riot Fest, but I’ve attended similar music festivals (i.e. Lollapalooza) many times. This past weekend was a blast! Friday night opened up with amazing acts like New Order and Nine Inch Nails. Saturday I took it easy, and Sunday I… Read more
