• Friendship is hard. Interracial friendship is even harder.

  

  How does one go about creating a diverse friend group? The good news is you can do it in three steps. The hard news is that it may take a long time and a lot of discomfort along the way.

• How a K-Drama, an Indian poem, and a head injury taught me the meaning of life

  

  I’ll admit that the title of this blog post is a little presumptuous. I haven’t figured out the meaning of life. But what these stories, and my own story, are teaching me is that life is for more than busyness and regret.

• Stay Moisturized and Accessorized with These 3 BIPOC-Owned Beauty Brands

  

  I love a good moisturizer and a standout hair accessory. The trouble is, both can be hard to find when your skin is sensitive, your hair is coily, and most readily-available hair accessories are designed for straight hair. That’s why I’m loving 3 BIPOC-owned brands that keep me moisturized and accessorized.
