Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History
January 29, 2022
In January 2022, I went to the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History with a few friends. I learned about the human culture, animals, minerals, and how we evolved as human beings. My favorite exhibit was the minerals we also saw the Hope Diamond. My friends and I went on the trip and I absolutely love going to museums to take pictures so I brought my camera! A gallery of the photos I took is below.
YardTalk: Earn Your Leisure
April 4, 2022
I attended Yard Talk w/ Earn Your Leisure and I really enjoyed it. The panelist was full of hardworking people like Cara Sabin (President of Shea Moisture) Yandy Smith (Love & Hip-Hop Star and HU Alum), Alex Okosi (Managing Director of Emerging Markets for YouTube), and Coodie & Chike (the directors of the Kanye West Documentary). It was an amazing experience, and I even had a chance to speak with Yandy and Chike individually. For me, there were gems dropped in this conversation such as God gives you an infinite number of plans. It’s up to you to find the passion. Ask yourself, why you do want to do what you do? We should prepare for life and career exploration to be a marathon because more doors will be closed than will be open for you. They also mentioned that money is byproduct and if your intentions are pure, then God will get you where you need to be. All of the photos from the event are below.
