One Thing That Would Instantly Improve D.C.: Statehood

What’s one thing that would instantly improve your city? If I could change one thing about Washington, D.C., it would be simple: make it a state. I don’t live in D.C. anymore, but having lived in the area most of my life and understanding how the city operates, one thing has always stood out to me. Washington, D.C. is the capital of the United States, yet the people who actually live there do not have the same political representation or control over their local government that people living in the 50 states have....

The Ordinary Things Become the Memories

For me, it is waffles. Not a particular restaurant. Not some elaborate brunch. Just the smell of waffles—and suddenly I am a child again. My grandmother made ragamuffin blueberry pancakes or waffles every weekend. At the time, I am sure it simply felt like breakfast. That is the thing about childhood: we rarely recognize tradition while we are living inside of it....

The Things We Carry With Us

As I get older, I realize that the people who shaped us rarely leave us completely. They show up in the phrases we repeat without thinking. In the way we cook certain foods. In how we care for people. In the standards we hold ourselves to. Sometimes I will say something and immediately know exactly where it came from. There are lessons we understand when they are first given to us, and then there are lessons that take years before we understand what someone was really trying to teach us....

If I Could Relive One Year of My Life

If you could relive one year of your life, which one would it be? "If I could relive just one year of my life, I wouldn't choose it to change my mistakes or fix my regrets. I would choose it simply to feel the warmth of those specific days again, to hear the laughter of the people I loved, and to deeply appreciate the moments I didn't realize were fleeing while I was living them."...

Loving ‐ when it’s hurting you

What’s the bravest thing you’ve ever done when no one was watching? "Show up every day and do what is needed regardless of how you feel… show up anyways." I don’t know why this question hit me the way it did. Maybe because when I think about bravery, I don’t think about anything big or heroic. I think about my mom....

Sometimes God Answers Prayers Through People

What’s the kindest thing someone has ever done for you? At first, you might think about a gift someone gave you, a favor they did, or a time someone helped you when you needed it. But when I really sit with this question, my heart goes somewhere deeper. Some of the greatest acts of kindness in my life came during seasons when I was struggling quietly....

When Coincidence Feels Like More Than Coincidence

What’s the weirdest coincidence you’ve ever experienced? Coincidence… or Is Life Trying to Tell Us Something? ❤️😂 Sometimes I sit back and think about how certain people come into our lives, and how, years later, you start noticing all these little connections that make you wonder if anything is ever really just a coincidence. My bestie Marccus and I have one of those stories....
