Life Updates
I didn’t realize that so much time has passed. It is odd to look back and see that over a year has passed since my last #MyBlackLifeMatters post. To be honest, it became a little bit overwhelming. Last year was tough on everyone in different ways.
For me when things get tough, I turn up my advocacy and get lost in work. & while productive it takes a toll all the same. I have hit some major milestones along the way.
1) Graduating from law school
2) Studying and taking the SC Bar Exam
3) Deciding to move to California
4) Getting a job in California
5) starting my first full time legal job
6) Passing the South Carolina Bar exam
7) Driving from the East coast to the West coast to move into my new apartment in California
8) Starting a podcast called Radically Necessary
9) Having my first appearance as counsel in court
10) Preparing for the California Bar Exam
A LOT has happened in the span of one year and it. is. WILD.
& to be honest I am so tired. I’m here though, battling everyday. Making things go and for the most part, I have been successful.
I say all of this to say: Take care of yourselves. Take breaks, take vacations, enjoy your days, and ask for help when you need it.
Love yourself. Find your passion. Make positive changes.
