And that’s a wrap on Spring 2026 semester 🥳 Round of applause for showing up, showing out and following through. This semester academically and professionally was about stretching. Really understanding that I can bend but I won’t break. What started off with me considering to withdraw from the semester bc I just needed a breather turned into me blossoming in ways I never thought of.

Highlights of my semester:
▫️Dinner with THE Dr. Cornel West and Philosophy Prof. Simon Critchley 🤯
▫️Presenting to the CEO and other members of leadership at @adweek  and getting to attend Social Media Week. Everyone’s presentations were phenomenal and super proud of what my team and I whipped up 
▫️To the growing friendship and community between my classmates and staff/faculty at TNS. The community at TNS is truly top notch and undefeated. 
▫️Rediscovering NYC & enjoying the warm weather with friends.
▫️Working my 4th commencement and my first as an Associate Director and so excited for Spring ‘27 bc I won’t be working but attending since I’ll be walking that stage this time next year. #roadtograduation2027 
▫️AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ‼️‼️ I bust my behind this semester juggling so much and I’m proud to have finished this semester strong (& better than I expected)

I’ve turned a corner on my sense of self. I will never ever doubt what I’m made of. As PD of Change Church mentioned in a past sermon that is stuck with me, “hard times are not just about education but it leads us to encounters.” And that it has done. God has carried me through a season where he has revealed his nature and care to and for me 🫂🤍
