My Favorite Places: From Paradise to The Hill!

Have you ever thought about what your favorite places in the whole wide world are, or how to even determine what they are? Well for me, I thought about some of the most beautiful or meaningful places I've been to. Automatically, two places popped into my head. I bet you're just dying to see what  what those places are. Look below to find out! 

Destination Number One!

Puerto Rico  January 2015 

This was such an exciting trip and great learning experience. A group of students and I traveled to Puerto Rico for a course through the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication. 
We spent a week there exploring and soaking up information from sunrise to sunset. The best part about it is that we didn't go to the standard touristic locations, no, we went to all the places the locals frequent. It doesn't hurt that the food was awesome as well. One flight to Puerto Rico, por favor!

Destination Number Two!

Washington, D.C.  August - December 2015 

The stomping ground of this Nation's leaders, movers and shakers and 22 young, educated African American leaders of tomorrow. This past semester, I was blessed with the opportunity to be a communications intern for the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation in Washington D.C., along with 21 fellow greats. 
This was absolutely a life changing opportunity for me. Learning how to conquer the Metro system, to interning on Capitol Hill and being in arms length from the President of the United States, President Barack Obama, it is safe to say that I was in intern heaven!
