Wild Wild West





The very night I got back from DR. I had to pack up all of my life and prepare for the movers that were coming at 8am sharp. I was still in shock about this move. I absolutely could not believe that is was actually happening. GOD LA was never in my plans. I thought I was taking my talents back to Detroit not millions of miles away -SIGH-

DECADENCE






When the Ward family turns 25 it calls for a Monumental Sophisticated Rachete' Turnup! 

The Plague of 25



In the fine print of 25 I’m convinced there’s a tagline that must read dooms day. Turning the BIG 25 ignites the fear of GAWD in a gal that’s on the road to finding herself. Heaven knows I tried to hold my head up high and stay positive about turning such a significant age but my soap opera life wouldn’t let me. While I let life cloud my better judgment, my close family and friends allowed me to see the monumental age in a whole new light.

New Year HIGH RE-SOLUTIONS

I am HIGHLY supersticious about New Years Eve! I don't care I don't care I don't care how silly I sound but I strongly believe this one day is some insight to at least the first three months of the year. Now with that said let me uncover what my NYE informed me about just what kind of year I may have.....

Bad Boy BABY




I am sitting at my computer in the Bad Boy Worldwide building reflecting on the last 3 months of my life. This world is unlike anything I have ever experienced. Seriously the day to day hustle could make for great television. Call me crazy but I've been with doubt for this whole time until last week. As I was helping my boss pack her office the other day we stumbled across a couple of my resumes and in that moment I realized that I was placed here for a reason. So here's an insight to things I've learned/ experienced in my time here.

Ain't 2 Proud to Brag




"I'm so proud of you Kolleh" 
A line that has always been so foreign to me
After all I'm just a little Liberian girl whose struggling to find her place in the world...

Trendy Tuesday is back honey, and we are kicking it off with a Scandal!!!We are all obsessed with Kerry Washington's character Olivia Pope in the hit show Scandal. While you are counting down the days until the show's fall premiere (I can't wait). Now you can shop the look and purchase your own white hat. Olivia Pope's style is almost as popular as the show so an inspired Scandal collection is definitely something that we all saw coming.

Post Grad Great Depression




Involvement in campus activities+ Great Grades + Internships x Networking = Entry level Position 


WRONG

This formula may have worked in the past, but not so much anymore. This is the dream everyone was sold and while some us were able to cash in that hefty receipt (oh I'm sorry I meant DIPLOMA), most of us found ourselves in the midst of a new age great depression.  People often tell me that they admire me because I am working in my chosen field of public relations, but what they always fail to realize about my journey is that it took me 1 year and 4 months to break into it. So seeing as we are all in this struggle together here's some tips I learned along the way...

Bang for your Buck: Zara



I like Zara but some of the items tend to be on the pricey side. Judge me if you want I'm on a PRista Budget. As I strolled past it yesterday I saw the sale sign and decided why not take a look. I walked in the door and into a broke girls retail heaven!


Life Lately





"People wondering where the heck you been. Every time I come to the blog not a thing is new" exclaimed my cousin Jatu. Guilt struck in for I know that my little break into LaLa Land has gone on for far too long. Now I could use the timeless excuse that "I've been soo busy" but that would be a lie. Truth is life has gotten the best of me. I'm human just like you and sometimes when your world gets clouded I advise everyone to step back from it all and make yourself a priority. Now is a great time to fill you in on my life lately....
