✨Jack of all trades, Master of one✨

In December 2025, I competed my thesis, Ruthless: The Revolution of Gangsta Rap, detailing how Gangsta Rap served as a form of activism in the United States in the post-Civil Rights era. This degree and thesis were labors of love, inspired by the city I grew up in and the people I have been lucky enough to meet along the way. To me, there is no greater beauty than looking to the past to see how far we have come, and yet how far we have to go. Though the past is not always pretty, I am always reminded that the voices that refuse to be silenced are those that make the greatest impact. Now more than ever, this rings true.

Live ruthless. In pursuit of your passion, for the people you love, and for those who are not being heard because history does not give way to the voiceless.

Thank you to all my friends and family that prayed, cried, and celebrated this accomplishment with me. I cannot wait to see where the expansion of the project takes me and what my future holds, but I know I am going to pursue it; ruthlessly.❤️

Rome 🖤

2.5 years, 1 blown engine, and over 50,000 miles later, our road together had come to an end. My bond with Rome is one only car people will understand. When other just see a car, I see myself as a 10 year old girl hanging out the window as I watched Camaros fly by and promise myself I was going to have my own one day. Every roadtrip, every race, and every mile has been an adventure I wouldn’t trade for the world. The blood, sweat, and tears poured into this car over these last few years will never be forgotten. Though I won’t be the girl with the Camaro anymore, Rome will forever be in my heart.
