Graduated!…Now a blank page.

June 2, 2013 family

There’s nothing more thrilling and terrifying than staring into a blank page as a journalist. That’s the part about journalism that I both love and hate—the moment when I had done as much research and interviews as I can to exhaust the topic I’m supposed to write about, and now all I have to do [...]

Churched

March 27, 2013 eating out

A church is a strange miracle of an institution. As a daughter of a deacon-turned-missionary/pastor, I grew up in a church. According to my mother, my brother and I spent our first two years audaciously crawling up to the pastor’s podium while he was preaching. The pastor let us crawl around his feet until we [...]

The morning-after Christmas food coma syndrome

December 26, 2012 family

I’m sitting at my parents’ townhouse in Northern Virginia, at the dining room directly across the kitchen where my mother is killing cockroaches.

Old kid in School Food

September 6, 2012 eating out

I’m turning 25 in a month-and-a-half. Yet, whenever I talk to or hang out with my parents, I instantly morph into my 7-year-old self, the little girl with the headband and high ponytail who wants nothing more than her parents’ praise and pride. I remember when I was still in primary school, every morning at [...]
