Back To Blogging

I realized I miss blogging...generally it helps clear my mind and organize my thoughts.
Since my last blog, I have returned to the US, but realize that I can't wait to make my complete transition to LIB.

As of lately, I've been doing the whole grad school thing, and its pretty intense thus far. I'm hoping that this year goes by quickly and then BAM! I'm back in Liberia, lol. I'm hoping that I can inspire more of my generation to want to return and realize that Liberia needs us to make a difference, rather than depending on the way things have been run. We have the knowledge and drive to change the system and mindset of thousands, something that we all need to become aware of.

I dream big, the world is most definitely my oyster :)

P.O.W.her.tea





Beauty over comes this kingdom come.
in the strangest places i've found her, more like a surprise than expectancy.
then, i expect her tendency, only to be thrown off.
again...unexpectedly.


so i search in Hope, yet Hope has failed time again for those who wait
she's an unpredictable sort, and predictably so, or so i thought.
for the people of this kingdom, this nation as one, have relied on she
and there has been some change,
yet Hope?... 
she chooses to evade me.


just as swiftly, swift Justice has replaced her
and these prisoners, not of war, but because of war,
do not realize his judgement lacks the justice he preaches
and so the shackled remain chained to the destruction he searches.

shifted, now i depend on Future, with whom i'm sure Beauty resides
for she left this place long ago with only dregs of tea as her demise;
coloring those who i told you only believe in Hope,
for Hope's sake
for they have forgotten to think forward, or create a dream.
so i dream,
to use my creativity to creatively forward this message of poverty, with color...
for their sake.

Liberia (LIB)

So I'm here in the motherland finally!

Personally I love my country. Of course many improvements can be made, but I really appreciate the naturalness here and I love how crazy Liberians are, lol.

I'm going to use this blog to sort of document the next 6 months here, as well as keep up with my creative line if thought. For my loves back in the states follow me here for new pics and updates!

Future Plans, more like Next Month's Plans

So, I mentioned previously that I made some major changes in my life. One of these changes involves my career path. I got my B.A. in Biology, howsomeever, I am now headed down the path of pursuing my MBA in Accounting. I know, WTH?!? right?

I figured at some point I could merge the two though. Like I'm really interested in furthering scientific discoveries, but I'm just as interested in the blood of the world, cash (Lil Wayne reference here, check out "We are Young Money"). So what better way of accomplishing said merge, than by working in the pharmaceutical industry, on the business end of things. I figure it is a lucrative industry and people are always going to have one ailment or another so why not?

Now I'm focused on the GMATs...or should I say the graduate version of the SATs all over again. It sucks, but I think I can do it. Surprising enough, a lot of non-business majors go into business after undergrad, so I am no longer deterred in that respect. My only concern is the heavy requests for business related job experience prior to admission at any B-school. Ugh! I JUST decided to do this. OF COURSE, I don't have any job experience in the business world.

Which leads me to the next major change...I'm moving to Liberia in February to work for pops...I'll show you admissions people "job experience", smh. The things they've forced me to do...
