Fall is upon us friends and I for one can’t wait for the leaves to turn and the temperature to drop. I’m ready for a change of seasons and a transition into a new time. My birthday is this week, and the older I get the more reflective I am around this time. I want to say thank you for all the kind words on my last post. I feel blessed and grateful that I can call you my friends and we can gather in this place. I’ve put together a few links for you to ease into the weak and into autumn!

Let’s kick off spooky season right with this #longread about the ghosts at the British Museum.

As we’ve recently passed the 20th anniversary of 9/11. I found this article interesting about the first concert in NYC post disaster. I had no idea Incubus was in the city during that time, and I think this goes to show how music can bring us together even in our darkest hour.

This oral history of the ” going out” top takes me back to my college days. If you came of age during the mid 2000’s you definitely had your fair share of these.

Not going to lie British crime dramas have me in a chokehold and it’s been that way for a few moments. This is in interesting take on why we can’t seem to change the channel.

Tennis is my favorite sport to watch, and this profile of Venus Williams is a delight!

I made this miso marinated cod for dinner last week and it is going into my rotation of easy weekend meals.

I look forward to #MetGala looks every year, and I enjoyed this perspective on what it’s like to be black in the fashion industry.

I worked in customer service for a few years, and this article on what its like working as a customer service rep was a bit triggering. When we talk about service work and exploitation, customer service reps tend to get left out of the conversation. That needs to change.

That’s all for this week friends! Let me know what you’re looking forward to this fall.
