I had the wonderful opportunity to share my experiences at the University with some middle school aged students across the community. Additionally, I was able to provide some tips on how I have distinguished myself from my peers during my college career. Over 100 middle school aged girls were in attendance! I feel so blessed to have had this opportunity. God is Good!

Missing You
The sky is crying today. We miss you. And sometimes that pit in my stomach volcanoes through the edges of my eyes spurting out these things that society calls tears.

Aside
I am announcing a 3 month pause from my weekly Poetic Prose posts! This pause has the purpose of providing me with the additional time I need to fully embrace the upcoming events I have within my community.
Throughout the months of February (Black history month), I have been asked to feature at 4 very diverse events: an Open Mic Night, a Block Party, an African American College Day for high school aged scholars and a Hidden Figures themed Womens empowerment luncheon for middle school aged scholars. March and April will likely be just as busy as I will be traveling for the National Society of Black Engineers Convention, apartment hunting and I will be preparing for graduation. I wanted to devote this transitional period to my future without neglecting my art. Ergo, I will continue to write and continue to share more weekly poems by May!
I am very excited to keep you all posted and continue to upload new videos highlighting my community involvement. So much is to come on 2017! I can already feel the difference. Stay tuned and be sure to follow my YouTube channel @kendallcarrin for updates.
Thank you for your support. See you after May!
