Ghana, me dɔ wo! 💙🇬🇭 Wow. This was a trip to remember forever. My first time traveling out of the country and the first visiting Ghana. It was so, SO amazing seeing my extended family. I’ve missed them so much. We visited different beaches, walked a canopy (my mom was freaking out 😂), ate a lot of great food, visited Independence Square, and visited Cape Coast castle. Oh yeah, there were also a lot of chickens 🐓. Also got to see one of my baby cousins, too. It was also bittersweet visiting my grandmother from my father’s side who passed away in 2013. I miss her lots, but I know she’s watching over us. I am still in awe of everything I saw while at Ghana. It was a much-needed vacation and experience I will never forget. 💙🇬🇭 by @gioislit14

The theme for Summer 2026: Reset. It’s about starting fresh and creating a new mindset for myself. This summer, I continued to look at sunsets, continued to advocate for mental health, spend more time with my family, continued to heal, went on more solo dates, went to my first ever World Cup game, made new friends in @thecandimilo @dangreenvoices @debiderryberry @meganhollingsheadvo at Nostalgia Con, prioritized myself and MY mental health, and listened to new music from another icon in @greydelisle. Nobody’s summer has to be perfect. It’s ok if things did not go as planned. It’s ok if you were not able to keep some of the friends you once had. It’s ok if you weren’t able to what you wanted. It feels good, welcoming new people into my life. Being able to meet the people who I’ve only heard behind the scenes in person. Continuing to do what I want without judgement. Listening to whatever music I want. Practicing self care. The fact that I still am here and continue to be here is still so important and is a blessing. You deserve to stay on this Earth. You deserve to meet the people you’ve always wanted to meet. You deserve all the happiness. You deserve friendships. You deserve to be HERE. Right now. And it’s all because you are loved and you matter. I love you.❤️‍🩹 #summer #mentalhealth #happiness #love #dollyparton by @gioislit14

and family celebrating Father’s Day 💙💙 Today, Father’s Day might look different for different people. I’m sending love to fathers of all kind; fathers who didn’t a chance to be one, single dads, grandfathers, godfathers, fathers in Gaza, Sudan and Congo, trans fathers, single mothers who took on the role of both parents, new fathers, fathers dealing with the loss of a child, adoptive fathers, foster fathers, incarcerated fathers, and anyone taking the father role in a new family. You are worthy, loved, treasured and so very appreciated. 💙 by @gioislit14

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. As the month ends, mental health awareness should still be talked about every day. It is not a trend that goes away and everyone forgets about. If you’ve seen my stories, you’ll know that I usually post inspiring words daily. However, at times I sometimes feel burnt out and worried that I’m not making an impact as someone like Mr. Rogers. There are times where I’ve felt happy and times I’ve cried. These feelings are normal and valid. One thing I have prioritized is self care. What does that look like for me? It looks like going to the waterfront to watch the sunset. It looks like getting something as simple as a shave and a haircut. It looks like taking myself out on self dates. Listening to music from Michael Jackson and @greydelisle. It also is me just being a nerd and enjoying my special interests such as Avatar: The Last Airbender. It’s also leaving positive post it notes at work; something I’ve did in college. As relaxing as self dates are, they can sometimes feel a bit boring as you’re not actively talking to someone face to face. Self care and mental health are different for everyone. Not everyone has to be 100% happy all of the time. It’s ok to struggle. It’s ok to laugh. It’s ok to be sad. It’s ok to cry. It’s something I’ve had to remind myself. No one should struggle alone. Talk to a friend, a family member, or your therapist. A REAL person, not ChatGPT or AI. I’m grateful for everyone in my life who encourage me every day to be my best. I’m here for anyone if you want to talk. Sending virtual hugs to everyone. I love you. 💙🫂🎗️ #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealth #selflove❤️ #avatarthelastairbender by @gioislit14

“While it is always best to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing.” - Uncle Iroh (Avatar: The Last Airbender, S2 E15, The Tales of Ba Sing Se) 🔥 🫖 Today, I ended my four-year journey as an undergrad at The College of New Jersey. And what a ride it has been. One huge capstone paper and presentation later, I’m now walking the stage. It is a forever blessing to be a first generation graduate. For starters, I want to thank everyone in my family who has supported me from the very beginning, when I didn’t know my place. From the tears they’ve seen, to the happy calls I’d make. To have such a special support system in the form of these wonderful people made the difference. I want to thank ALL the friends I’ve made throughout these four years. I can’t tag everyone (Instagram only allows 20 tags) but the number of friends is well over 20. From the endless FIFA and soccer games, to trying new restaurants, to study sessions, and hugs I’ve given and received. I feel so special because of you. I want to thank all the professors who have challenged me to think outside of the box and explore new things. I have learned so much, whether it was through case studies, homework, or even really big projects and papers. In addition, I am proud of myself that I was able to make an impact across campus through my participation in events such as Stigmonologues, and my post-it notes that I have left on campus the past few years. I am so glad students take time to stop and read these little reminders I made for them. I thank God every day for the fact that through tough times, I am still able to push through and persevere whatever may come my way. It is His Grace that keeps me going and every prayer has gone a long way. Last, but not least, I am proud of YOU. Every single individual in the class of 2025. You did it! Go and chase your dreams. Continue to make impacts across the world. Be the change you want to see. Hopefully, I’ll be invited to alumni events in the future. And as the late Dick Clark always said, “So long.” 🫡 💙 #tcnj2025 #tcnj #grad #classof2025 #graduation #avatarthelastairbender taken in The College of New Jersey by @gioislit14

“I’m walking for anyone who feels like they don’t belong.” 💙 Today, I participated in AFSP’s Out of the Darkness Campus Walk. With other students, I walked in support of suicide prevention and the ending of mental health stigma. For the longest time, there has been a stigma against seeking help or reaching out. Some have felt like they don’t belong and some have shamed others just for trying to get help. That needs to stop. Today, I also wore colored beads, each one signifies a different reason. Blue is for those who support the cause of suicide prevention and mental health care. Green is for anyone who has struggled with their mental health or is still struggling. Purple is for anyone who has lost their lives. It is so, SO important to let someone know that they are never alone and that they are always loved. Please encourage others to take advantage of resources available, reach out to a therapist, a friend, or a family member. Please don’t wait until too late. NEVER feel ashamed for reaching out despite what anyone else might say about you. They don’t live your life. You have one life, and it’s yours. It also is important to LISTEN AND NOT JUDGE. Never judge what you don’t understand. Be there for someone. At the same time, take care of yourself. Because you matter and you deserve to heal and feel loved. As always, I’m here if anyone needs a friend to talk with or to just listen. Always practice self care and make it a priority, because I still want to see you on this Earth. I want you to know that your existence in this world matters. And YOU matter. I love you all. 💙🙏🏿 taken in The College of New Jersey by @gioislit14

2024: a reflection. ❤️‍🩹 As this year comes to a close, I think about a lot that has happened. It was a year of successes and lots of memories that I will forever cherish with family, friends, and all the new people I have let into my life. I am forever grateful. I’ve participated in presentations, mental health speeches, and walks. These are just some of the events I have been lucky to participate in; experiences I will never forget. 2024 was also a year of self care and growth; prioritizing my own health and wellbeing while also helping others the best I could. I am happy to say that I am feeling more confident and more mindful of myself. To the people in my life, thank you for being you. You continue to make everything so special and important to me, and I love you. ❤️ To Asaka, I know you’re smiling up above, and I know how proud you are of me and all of your friends. We miss you each and every day. As we enter 2025, I pray for continued happiness and peace within myself and more success that will come my way. May 2025 be a great year for all of us. I love you. Stay blessed. 🙏🏿❤️ by @gioislit14
