#drkholi

Seeing my name and words in print never fails to brighten my day. Knowing that I got to work with @eastbayexpress' @sara.baku (my favorite #editor ... and it's hard for me as an editor to admit that about another editor), and write about the amazing @arisaawhite ... that's just like icing on the literary lover's cake. -- #blessings #drkholi #blackwomenwriters #yourethemostbeautifulthingthathappened #writing

At 22, I made a goal: "I'm tryna be a doctor before I turn 30" ... Then, in January of this year, I made another goal: "I'm tryna look 24 by the time I turn 30." -- Yesterday, I became a doctor. And today I turned 30. Though that goal of looking 24 was originally tied up in weight and workout goals, today, brighter and lighter in so many more ways than the 13 lbs I've lost ... happier than I've ever been since leaving #Hampton, I honestly feel like the happiest kid in the world ... and still hella thrilled to be getting grown! Today, this smile (and my celebratory #DunkinDonuts #hotchocolate) and all of my gratitude is because I'm thankful for all of you - for the messages (on fb & IG & text) and this thing we've done (and this life we've fought for) together for the last 8 years. 🎓📚👊 #mamawemadeit #wedonegood #drkholi #biznatttttch #tribelife #innercircle #iabsolutelyshowyouhowtodothisson (at The Heldrich)

On this day, I do #givethanks. Not solely for #armedforce #veterans who have fought to preserve American land and bodies, but also for those who have fought/arestillfighting to #freeAmericanminds. #blackgirlgradschool #inonewayoranother #weareallwarriors -- #gradlife #writingisrevision #drkholi (at http://blackgirlgradschool.com)
