I just had a baby, so I write about that.
I used to be a local entertainment reporter, so I write about that.
My baby was premature so I write about that.
I lost my father suddenly ten years ago, so I write about that
I’m a Christian, so I write about that.
I do super fun things, like be a guest on a talk show, so I write about that.
I will buy almost anything in pink (and almost anything in general), so I write about that.
Books are my escape, so I write about that.
I quit relaxing my hair four years ago, so I write about that.

I started this blog in 2009 and, like everyone who is awake, my life has been a series of random, deliberate, funny, serious, sad, but mostly incredibly happy events.
I update this blog every few days or few weeks depending on the mood, so if you want to be notified, be sure to follow my blog for updates!!

I recently came upon your name on MadameNoire which then led me to your blog. I read your two posts about looking for a job and then eventually finding one. I graduated last year with my bachelor’s in journalism and I am pursuing my masters in new media journalism PLEASE tell me how did you do how did you manage to survive this dreaded job search in such a competitive market. Any tips you can give because that boat you were once in I am now in and girl it is sinking and sinking fast right along with all my gusto for this field.

After reading your article, “Should Women Keep Their Married Name After a Divorce?” I think you would make a great guest on HuffPost Live. We are hosting a segment about marital statuses/name changes and we would love for you to join us via webcam tomorrow (9/11/2012) at 2:30pm EST. If interested, please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Alicia! I love your work. Re: MIGHT DON’T MAKE IT: WHY I QUIT A NEW JOB I HATED. After a month of repeatedly contemplating a bullet through my brain because of my first god forsaken job, I realized I could take the high road and quit before I’m in to deep. The question is, didn’t your new employer asked you why you didn’t stick around long for your first job?
