2020 Vision (Board)

By: September 14, 2020

During Medellin’s 164 day self-isolation, which included many days where we weren’t even allowed to go outside to walk or exercise, I made a vision board. My vision board is the product of self-isolation induced free-time, a craving for creative expression and a desire to put together some sort of “life plan” amidst the chaos that is 2020.

Domicillio Vegano Medellín

By: August 2, 2020

I have been self-isolating in Medellín since March 20, 2020. Over the past 4+ months, I have gotten very familiar with the domicillio vegano (vegan home delivery) options near me. Here are my favorite domicillio vegano options in Medellín.

It has taken me longer than I would have liked to publish this post. I have been grappling with exactly what to say, and how to say it, for over a month. I know it will change, possibly even end, some of my relationships. That is a risk I am willing to take because Black Lives Matter.

By: June 2, 2020

Here is a list of resources for UN-learning and RE-learning history!

Unlearning and relearning history is vital to understanding how we got to where we are today. We must understand our history, our true history, before we can dismantle white supremacy and make America anti-racist.

Anti-Racism Resources

By: June 2, 2020

Here is a list of resources to understand what it means to be anti-racist and how to do better… We must do better.
“The opposite of racist isn’t ‘not racist.’ It is ‘anti-racist.’ What’s the difference? One endorses either the idea of a racial hierarchy as a racist, or racial equality as an anti-racist. One either believes problems are rooted in groups of people, as a racist, or locates the roots of problems in power and policies, as an anti-racist. One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an anti-racist. There is no in-between safe space of ‘not racist.” Ibram X. Kendi
Please also visit the history resource page. In America we are taught a very whitewashed version of history. Unlearning and relearning history is vital to anti-racism.

Medellín Self-Isolation: A Photo Gallery

By: May 27, 2020

This post is a bunch of random photos I took while out and about in Medellín over the last few months. Most of the photos were taken at the grocery store, or on the way to/from the grocery store, because that was pretty much the only time I was out of the house. Several of the photos were taken from the balcony of my first apartment in Medellín. Each of these photos gives a little insight into what self-isolation has looked like in Medellín, Colombia, through my eyes, thus far.
