First of all… CONGRATULATIONS to all of the amazing humans who were accepted in to the class of 2022! I am so excited for all of you and can’t wait to meet some of you over the next couple of days during Spring Open Campus! While it’s be a couple of weeks since I last wrote a post due to…

Paris (again!)
The one advice I would tell students at Wellesley and the incoming class of 2022 (!!!!welcome!!!), is to take the classes that you like and are most interested in. That’s what happened when I chose to take a class called Black Paris. Black Paris is class in the French department that focuses on postcolonial theory and particularly relating to Africans…
Spring Break Sunshine
Hello from sunny Miami! It’s spring break, and yours truly is finally having a much-needed reunion with warm weather and a few days of relaxation. I’m writing to you on the tail end of my vacation: I’m spending five days in Florida forgetting about my many responsibilities… and five days in the thesis lab back in Boston, trying to get…
Mentorship
I waited to write this post because I wanted to talk about tonight; it was Big/Little!! It’s when a current member of an organization becomes a “big” or big sibling to a new member. Some of you might have heard of similar things happening in sororities and fraternities, but it’s a little different at Wellesley. I say this because it…
Under The Sea!
This past week was spent with my volunteer group at the Aquarium. It’s been a long time since I have been to an aquarium and visiting the New England Aquarium made me feel like a kid again. I traveled from Wellesley to the Aquarium in Boston to meet my volunteer group. We had fewer kids with us on this trip…
Twenty Two
I turned twenty two last Thursday. At first, I woke up and looked out the window and felt a little older. And then I immediately remembered that I had left my Western blots in the wrong buffer last night leaving the lab, and hoped they were okay (they were). Maybe that’s what being twenty two is. A combination of feeling…
What Wellesley Has Taught Me
First of all… CONGRATULATIONS to all the fabulous humans who received their EDII acceptances last night. I, and all of my classmates, can’t wait to have you join us on campus in the fall! While I said that I was going to vlog this week, I couldn’t bring myself to vlog out and about (I got super embarrassed every time I tried to…
Africa Week!
This week was Africa Week! It’s a part of Wellesley’s African Students Association (WASA) Black History Month celebrations. It seeks to bring awareness to African’s culture, politics, and students at Wellesley’s campus. On Monday, I attended an Art Exhibit by a Nigerian photographer named Stephanie Nnamani. She came to show us her project entitled GLASS. They are a series of…
Spring 2018
I am officially back and so is the snow! I am ready to take on the second semester of my second year. There seems to be a lot going on at the same time as I try to readjust, classes, deciding to study abroad, and summer internships. I am also starting to realize that I am about to hit the…
