It happens like clockwork. I lay in my bed ready to sleep and I began to go through my day, the work needed to be done tomorrow, all the future stresses of the week and I think God’s got me so I can make it through this one, “he”s gotten me through worst.” I realized […]

Two weeks ago I wrote, one of the most painful and personal blogs I have ever written. It hurt. Every word hit my heart in ways I couldn’t imagine. I had the opportunity to talk through my thoughts with various leaders here at Marsh, the support I received from people of color and particularly, people […]

Monday evening I spent my time welcoming the Black Community here at BU back to campus. A good turnout and a good time. I went to sleep excited about the work the Black Student Union could do on campus. Tuesday, I awoke, got myself situated for the day and went to the dining hall to […]

In perhaps the biggest decision of my life, choosing what college I would attend, my parents gave me complete control. They informed me of the financial situations and left me […]

I was participating in Bible Study last Thursday night and we read a verse in Romans ( I am 77 percent sure, it has been a long week), and we landed on the topic of suffering. I listened to stories of struggling with classes and questioning your major and fears of financial problems and waisting […]

I miss the music. I miss the drums and the piano and the bass. I miss the clapping and smiles, and the rhythms that helped me fall in love with God. I miss knowing every song and anticipating every change in beat. I miss, most of all, the feeling I had when poorly singing the […]

I awoke today to vague text in a group message about police sirens and ambulances outside a friends dorm. My friend lives at Kilachand Hall and he awoke to the news of a freshman’s body being found. I learned of this new at the beginning of my first discussion at about 12PM and finally understood […]

A time of rejoicing For the son of man has risen. A time of peace and love And congregations filled with joy And large smiles on faces of children as they enter the church. A time of reflections and renewal For he died and lives again for us Darkness forced to flee as light […]
