I always say it’s one thing to praise your homegirls in private, but to praise them in public is a whole different kind of affirmation. So to my homegirl for lifeeee @aiyanaish, I love you. This thread is for you sis. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles">

What drew Aiyana and I together was not our love for journalism or our love for multimedia projects, but instead my oversized glasses and my larger than life personality that reminded her of a reality show star. Gemini + Virgo= CHAOTIC ENERGY x 10.

From then on, I asked her to be my mentor & from then on I witnessed first hand what true empowerment felt like. My homegirl was in her Birkin was always sending me internships, fellowships, and conferences so we could be “In My Birkin” twinsies.

To see you work hard to be published in Teen Vogue, become a ONA Student Rep, win a Hearst Award, & overall be THAT GIRL was all I needed to see to know that you are the type of woman that I’d love to have in my life forever.

Our 1000 ideas we text each other randomly at night and then chaotically force ourselves to execute, our daily walks to Chic Fil A, our five FT calls a day, & our phone calls ranting about our dreams has only made this moment right here feel so much truer.

So, to my forever EIC, you are and will forever be the golden ticket. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="✨" title="Sparkles" aria-label="Emoji: Sparkles"> With a homegirl like you by anyone’s side, their bound to believe that they would chase their wildest dreams. I love you & your brainchild: https://issuu.com/journeymagazine/docs/officialjourneymag2020issue">https://issuu.com/journeyma...
