JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out
The clock on the laptop struck 5 and I felt the pressure from my clenched jaw lessen. The small pain that seems to live in my left temple during work hours, magically went away and I could feel my Arthur curled fist release in a sign of relief. I quickly passed my coworkers, ignoring anyContinue reading “JOMO: The Joy of Missing Out”
Money Clueless
Image by: Morgan Daniels Picture this, it’s a warm Sunday afternoon. I and a few of my millienal friends are enjoying a bottomless instagrammable brunch.

The Waiting Game
Photography by: Morgan Daniels Styled by: M. Ansah I vividly remember the day I started waiting for love, or rather on it. A friend’s church had organized a women’s conference.

Adopting Atlanta
Creating a life in Atlanta was never in my plans. To be honest, I had no interest in staying in Georgia past the age of 18. It always too homely and I longed for the sophisticated and fast paced life of a New Yorker. It seemed like nothing was here for me. So it surprisedContinue reading “Adopting Atlanta”
