It's Tuesday! That means Joe and I will be sitting together at the computer for the next 9 hrs debating over final shots, music choices, critiquing each other's editing, shots, sound quality, color corrections, while sipping on ice tea and green smoothies. Find out if I really am pregnant tonight at 6pm EST 5pm CST. #mazelee

I want to try out these fruits but it's so hard for me to purchase fruits and veggies that I'm so foreign to. Questions go through my mind such as, Is this a fair price? How do I eat it? What does it taste like? Why should I buy this pricey thing instead of a bag of apples? What if I don't like it? Yea, I probably won't like it. Then I always end up putting the item back. This summer, I'm challenging myself to pick 1 fruit or veggie a week that I've never eaten before, research it's benefits, and incorporate it into my family meals. #mazelee #fruit #rawfood (at H Mart)

Storytime: I might have told you all I've been trying to eat a lot more raw foods. So yesterday, ajedi went to my sisters house for the first time to get babysat. I packed Ajedi all raw foods to eat and jokingly said to my sis , "Oh, he's a raw vegan now!" So this morning I wake up and Joe is attempting to feed Ajedi some cooked oatmeal. I scream (still jokingly) about how he better not feed my baby any cook foods, and run into the kitchen to cut open a watermelon and slice up a banana for Ajedi for breakfast. He ate it. Joe makes 4 scrambled eggs covered in olive oil. We discuss back and forth for an hour on the benefits of eating raw foods, why I believe it should be the first thing you eat in the morning (after drinking water) and how Joe believes he can't drink green fruit smoothies because they are toooo sweet. I leave for school and get this message. I can't stop laughing. #mazelee @streetevoker

Happy cus I passed my exam! Praise God! I have a lot of work to put in over the next 7 months (coding, analysis, solving a bit more proofs, and writing an 150 page thesis) but it will all be worth it! #mazelee

And another thing. I failed Calculus a total of 3 times in high school and college!!!!!!!!!! The fourth time I passed with a A and achieved A's in 90% of my math classes since. I'm not saying this to boast but saying this so someone will get off their butt and begin to make a plan of how they will go after what they want. If you want something go for it no matter how many times (failures) it takes. #mazelee #statistics #bigdata

What you don't see on the cinevlogs is my grind. I finished my 40 page paper last week. Monday, I have to defend the work I am proposing to research. Basically what happens is this: 5 PhD Mathematicians sit on a panel and ask me questions for 2hrs to see if I really know what I'm talking about. Women we are smart! Don't let the world (or shoot your family) tell you who you are not ot what you will not become because of what you don't know, the resources you don't have, the children you've got, where you came from or what you've done. People will hate on you when you achieve nothing and people will hate you when you achieve everything. #mazelee #blackgirlmagic #realgoals #math #bigdata #thesis (at Washington, District of Columbia)

Profile. I just started weight lifting this week. I don't really care what my body looks like but I want to be sane and healthy in my older ages. I don't want to have to be taken care of or in the hospital for mental or physical illness. Joes mom is in the hospital, again. At 30 years old it's easy to fall into the trap of I feel fine now. We forget that youthfulness quickly fades and soon the repercussions of our bad habits start to kick in. So take time to think about this: The best person who can take care of you in your old age is the 30 year old self you are now! #mazelee
