I had a 4.0 my first semester up here. I had a 1.3 the first semester I made Drum Major. Graduation meant everything to me. I got through so much. Please be easy on yourselves people. Do your best. I promise God got your back.
DEKALB LITERALLY SHITS GREATNESS!
We are literally last choice in this republican state and still out perform your private and charter schools. Academics, Sports, anything...we accidentally make history everyday.
So today I got accepted to do research this summer with FAMU and NSF on Proteomics, Genomics , and Bioinformatics ! My resume said “no experience” but MY GOD said apply anyway!!
2018 was the year of the Rattler! We'll be sharing the year's top ten accomplishments until the first of the new year. First up, The Marching 100 naming Cori Bostic as the first female drum major!
I am so proud of myself for staying true to who I am in these times while in this new place. I was so nervous to do this. Everyday I have to remind myself of my “Why” and of my “End Goal.” It’s a celebration! Happy Juneteenth! 🗣Say it LOUD‼️
IM BLACK AND IM PROUD ✊🏾👩🏾🦱
I sold $850 worth of chocolate to be able to go to NYC with my middle school band. My parents dead looked at me and was like “we don’t got it”. They were so proud of me and gave me $150 in spending money ( the most I ever got for a trip). Core memory for me.
I remember these men told me I’d be punished and dealt with for taking a man’s position in a marching band. And that my actions were UnGodly. There’s a reason why they at the McD on Orange ave and not in front of the campus no more.
LADIES: You find out your man has been seeing this woman for the last 7 Months. She tells you, “I’m not leaving him, so let’s work on all of us being together? I make 112k annually, and I have no children!!” What is your response?
Headline: White man pulls gun on FAMU students.
This headline almost invited that the FAMU students were the problem.
Black men are “targeted” everyday. Let’s write a new narrative. Let’s write the truth.
Okay so boom. I wanted to know why Disney has so many home movie animations in the early 2000s and I fell into a very deep rabbit hole. Here’s a thread of my conclusions
I had a date tonight with a guy I met a couple weeks back. We were gonna go see The Joker. I guess a clown picked the perfect movie. ANYWAYY...I got stood up. He never came to pick me up and his baby mother is now blowing up my phone. How’d y’all Sunday go?
Was skating my trail and saw a girl with an HU sweatshirt on. I said heyyyyy HBCU sister and she said “oh this my moms...I don’t go there” and her mama with all the sass in the world said to me “ she don’t even understand how beautiful this moment could’ve been.” 😂
I know y’all be coming for Apple Bees and Cheesecake Factory and other restaurants on this app but let me tell you about Chili’s. I love them. The drinks always take me there. The food is abundant and delicious. The staff is sweet. Imma stick beside em. Love it. 😂
In highschool it was not popular to be tall. Now everyone wanna be stallions.

No one asked but my influencer check is a little over $100 this month. Just filled my tank up and bought Zaxby’s. I have $30 of my influencer check left. Those are the realistic numbers.
It’s hard to wrap my brain around the fact that Dr. Chipman, in 2020, is marching for some of the same equal rights that motivated Dr. Foster to found the Incomparable Marching 100 in 1946. Nonetheless I am proud to be apart of this organization and the history it’s made. Hubba.
The news always casually plays in the background in the ER. A nurse tried to change channel. The security officer changed it back to the news. The nurse said she doesn’t want to see that while at work. The security officer yelled and said “Well I don’t want to live it.”
Y’all: “DoNt TAk3 m3 s3rIoUs oN tHIs aPp”
Also y’all: Supports Offset, condones reckless rapey behavior, laughs at someone else’s abuse, belittles someone’s trauma with a joke.
Me: ...noted and blocked...
The ground is shifting under me and I’m ready to get my feet dirty! God is working wonders in my life and I KNOW it’s no one but him. Order my steps Lord. Use Me Lord. ❤️
In 1913, 22 women had the courage to be that change and march into history. Here we are 106 years later still marching into history. S/O to my Founders for paving the way!

We were on a cruise. I was already engaged but I wasn’t happy. He earned money drawing ppl in the boat and I hired him to draw me. I had never felt more alive. But the the boat crashed. We were in the freezing water for hours. He died in my hands. I’ll never love another man. 🥀
I don’t think y’all understand how intelligent one has to be to still be intellectually thriving with such limited resources. We’ve seen Musicians, seamstresses,chefs, artist and more. Very impressive.
