Dear Body, Yesterday Sandria Washington posted a video about a woman coming to terms with feeling too tall most of her life. I reflected on feeling too tall, not wanting to wear heels, feeling like I just took up too much space. I realized that for probably more than...

Forty-Six

In 1975, Saturday Night Live premiered. And I was born. On March 24, at around 3am, my first season began. And somehow, I’ve managed to get picked up for 45 more. I’ve been thinking a lot about age lately. It’s really quite subjective, isn’t it? I think 46 is old...

Occasionally we will be giving memorial/tribute gifts to those who have lost a loved one. Sign up to get the announcements.

I went to South Africa junior year of high school. It was an exchange trip. It sounded like a cool trip to do and I wanted to travel abroad just because…We went to Johannesburg and then we went to Cape Town. Honestly, it was an amazing experience. When we were in Johannesburg, we went to this school called African Leadership Academy where they take kids from all over Africa and try and create Africa’s future leaders. They take them from all countries there. I met some amazing people there. Overall, the trip was great. I got to see a whole new continent and experience how the people in those communities live. We saw people who were living well-off and then we went to  a shanty town and we walked around there. We climbed Table Mountain; that was cool. Cape Town was more like the touristy part. Johannesburg was my favorite part only because of the African Leadership Academy and all the friends that I made there. Yes, the trip was amazing. Everyone should travel abroad at some point in their life.
