Happy 10 Years to 5 Seconds Of Summer! 😃

An OdeTo OneRepublic (the typo is on purpose lol)

It seems to me that most of the best bands have a number in their names. First One Direction, then 5 Seconds of Summer, now OneRepublic.

I'm in shock and so heartbroken about this. I can't believe this. It doesn't feel real.

Happy One Year Anniversary to 5 Seconds of Summer's Fourth Studio Album CALM! :D

One year ago today, 5 Seconds of Summer released their fourth studio album CALM (2020) and it was one of the best things to ever happen to me.

Happy Women's History Month!

I've noticed that a lot of the music artists that I prefer to listen to are men. 5 Seconds of Summer, Ashton Irwin, One Direction, Harry Styles, Niall Horan... So I decided to dedicate this blog post to two woman artists that I have been listening to lately, Miley Cyrus and Dua Lipa. 

Anyone Can Write...Right?

Stef's "So Good You Can't Put It Down" Book Reviews - Uncomfortable Conversations With A Black Man by Emmanuel Acho

Happy Black History Month! This book that I am about to share with you is perfect reading material for this month.

One night back in January, I was at Barnes & Noble and in a very good mood. I was walking around, browsing like usual, when I came across a display for Black American culture. There was an Alicia Keys memoir that looked interesting, but then I came across another book that drew my attention.
