Notes From a Native Daughter

In July, 2008, I, Princess Rachella, Intrepid African American Girl International Journalism Consultant, pulled up stakes once again and headed to Nairobi, Kenya. Through my various adventures, I've concluded that if I get any MORE explosively fabulous in these prequel years to "THE BIG 5-0," I will have to register myself with the Pentagon as a thermonuclear incendiary device.

Empire State of Mind

From Lanpher's balcony, you can see the Empire State Building. Reminds me of the Jay Z/Alicia Keys song, "Empire State of Mind." It also reminds me that as a gal from Cairo, Illinois, I will always, ALWAYS be in awe of skyscrapers.

And it reminds me of how far I've come, and how far I must still go, and how I must always reach for the sky. I'll be spending a lot of time in it very soon--2 hours to Detroit, 9 hours to Amsterdam, 8 hours to Nairobi.

Au revoir, NYC. And DC. And the people I love, those I actually saw and those I couldn't. I'll be back now, ya hear?
