Criminal Justice or no?


What is Public Relations?



    When I graduated from high school, I was CERTAIN that criminal justice was the right path for me. I loved Law & Order: SVU and thought that being a criminal psychologist would be the absolute coolest job ever. Can y’all believe I took an Intro to Criminal Justice class my first semester and HATED it? My professor was great and I did enjoy the class but I knew criminal justice was NOT the right decision for me. 

    I knew I needed to pick a major and it needed to happen quickly so that I wouldn’t be in school for 1,000 years. I knew that I enjoyed writing, event planning, and social media so after speaking with an old high school teacher, I decided Communications would be the best fit for me. After taking Introduction to Communications, I knew that I had chosen the PERFECT major for me.


    Public Relations was right for me because I actually found myself enjoying the coursework, actively listening in lectures, and just genuinely being excited to attend class. I would always look forward to the assignments and projects and really had fun getting to interact with my classmates and professors.


Truthfully, I'm so excited about my major and I absolutely love when people ask what my degree will be in and it leads to a long conversation. Most people always assume that my major is nursing or business so it's always really cool for me to be able to explain what I plan on doing in the future. Public Relations is unknown to a lot of people and foreign territory and I getting to inform people about how amazing it is will always be one of my favorite things!

The "R" Word.

  RACISM. Look at me. I'm a black woman. I  was born a black woman and I will be a black woman until I  die. I  love my skin and I am comfortable in my skin (besides these extra pounds I've picked up... thanks quarantine). I  believe Black Lives Matter. I  think people should be allowed to date who they want. I    am pro-black. I  am also a black woman with a white best friend. Where It All Started Me and my best friend, Hannah, have been friends for about 13 years. We met in Mrs. Tisdale's third grade class and have been pretty much stuck like glue since. We've cried together, been in trouble together, snuck out together (sorry mama and Mrs. Kim), had disagreements, and fights but our friendship has never quavered.  We grew up attending Vincent Middle High School, a small 2A school about 30 miles outside of Birmingham,AL (You know, one of those towns where EVERYBODY knows EVERYBODY'S business 😒) I'll be the first to say that Hanna...

BEST Music Playlist

Hello everyone and welcome back to Just Charity Things! Remember the epic guest list that I would have if I were to throw a dinner party? Well, everyone knows that a great party HAS to have great music or else it can’t be a very good party.  My top 5 songs that would be played at a dinner party hosted by me would be: Beyonce- Run the World (Girls) First of all, who in their right mind DOESN’T love Beyonce? I chose this song because I believe that women empowerment is a vital and important thing in life. As a woman, music that uplifts up, makes us feel good, and gives us the opportunity to celebrate being women is always a plus. Women need music that makes them feel equal to men and as if the y are worthy of all things. This song does just that! Survivor-Eye of the Tiger This song brings back memories of elementary school and ARMT testing. Our teachers were so focused on getting us pumped up and excited that they would make sure we ate a good breakfast, got peppermints to eat while ...
