Growing up, my mother could answer any homework question I had. She knew everything.

It was a sacrifice I never saw, happening in moments I'll never remember.
Sometimes the greatest acts of love are the ones that happen in silence.

Sure, code switching is a thing, but I'm resenting this whole "just tell me honestly" approach.

Hello 🌍✨ Just published a new blog post: “Embracing the Bigness of Life.” In this reflection, I share my experiences as an immigrant and explore how we can strive to live a life that is anything but little. From challenging ourselves to stepping out of our comfort zones, there’s always room to grow, learn, and evolve, no matter where we are in the world.
