This past semester I transferred to Brooklyn College from Wesleyan University after taking a year and a half off for my mental health. I enjoyed my semester greatly and all of my professors were incredibly helpful in getting me back into the swing of things. My favorite class was my communications theory class and my art history course. Most of my classes were asynchronous which was refreshing and a good way to reintroduce me back into school because it took away the pressure and anxiety of sitting in a room and performing. Since moving to New York, I have had the opportunity to work as the Editorial Assistant for The Root, an online Black news and media site. It has been fantastic and I have worked with people such as Stacey Abrams, Cory Booker, Ayanna Pressley, Taraji P. Henson, Ava DuVernay and Tarana Burke of the "me too" movement. The Root has shown me so many incredible opportunities. I am majoring in Journalism and Media studies which has helped me secure an amazing summer opportunity through the company. I’ve also been working as a social media manager for a vegan web series which has taught me a lot about and health and wellness; a great tool in an insane time like this. In addition to my full course load, my job at The Root and my social media job, I also tutor two young children in order to cover the difference between my MVYouth award and my tuition since I am not yet a New York state resident. I have loved living in New York and being a Brooklyn College student.
