Every time I go on a trip I learn something new about myself. This time: Vulnerability. I know so many of us will not admit our struggles with becoming vulnerable whether it’s for a love interest or even our career. Especially when blogging you have to be vulnerable, and at times you feel as though I’m not ready to take it to that point of being transparent. Listen, I’ve been there. I’m constantly faced with the issue of over sharing,…

When is the appropriate time to “disconnect” from your social media, and take a break? Well, after the last week I’ve had the time has come for me to take care of self, and shut off all communication with social media. I’m not able to put into words my level of exhaustion.  What I do know is that I need to take some time off.  At times I can over exert myself with my 9-5, and the other projects that…

I had no idea when I started the Center for Documentary Studies program at Duke University that I would meet so many amazing people. They are my community.

The mentors, instructors, cohorts, and support…

You’re in shock, disbelief, and realize the person behind you is clearly inebriated. All of this happens in front of the plaza by the shuttle stop. Thank God there was no serious damage, but I made sure I got that license plate because buddy kept rolling. ✌🏾️🚗💨💨 So, now I’m waiting on the…

**Singing** back down memory lane… I love old photos and music.  You can catch me at any time snapping pics, and listening (and singing) to music.  The featured photo today is from my 25th birthday.  You know your 25th birthday can go up there with your 18th, 21st, and 30th birthday.  I could rent a car by myself, and my car insurance premium decreased.  #Winning My birthdays have always been extra special.  I have the gift of remembering others birthdays…

I’m R.J. and I love History.  I just wanted to get that out of the way.  So, you aren’t confused at all. Lol. There are many things that I enjoy but I honestly love history more! On Periscope, I present live broadcasts of myself (and sometimes I’m able to drag a friend along) touring the country doing tours at varies historic sites and I call them “Historical Tours w/R.J.”  I like to challenge people with the question of, “What’s in…
