With a quest to keep track of my life as a 30-something, I always try to stay hip, fresh, and new, with a focus on my life as a single, African American woman, educator, activist, and writer, with reflections on the issues that affect my community as well as my opinions on African American Literature & Culture, Multicultural Art, Music, and Politics and Pop Culture news, my personal journey with health and wellness, and especially my affinity to Hip Hop (old school), Jazz, and Neo-Soul music. My goal with lifestyle30 is to be a “personal public relations” blog, keeping you up to date on what I’m doing and thinking.
