About

Hi! I am Emoijah Bridges and I am a University of Florida student. I started this blog when I was 15 years old, and this site was catered to young women of color such as myself. I want to share everything I can with other young women. As a Journalism major, I am also the secretary of my university’s National Broadcasting Society, a member of the National Association of Black Journalists, and a writer for the Black Student Union’s ROOTS Magazine.

Hi! My name is Kariel Stuart and my dream is to work for the United Nations in the Environmental Department, pursuing international development and humanitarian assistance. I’m from the Bahamas, but I moved to Gainesville to study at the University of Florida, #UF23! My favorite past times are singing and writing. I am also a member of the Gator Model United Nations Club, the Bahamas National Trust, and the National Society of Black Engineers.

Hi! My name is Deja and I’m a third-year psychology major with a minor in African American studies on a pre-nursing track.

Hi lovelies! My name is Shaynah Boulay and I am a second-year Industrial engineering major with two minors in business administration and actuarial science. I spend most of my time in the library or getting to know new people but on campus, I am involved in both in the National Society for Black Engineers club and club creole. I recently participated in the annual Mr. and Ms. Club Creole where I earned the awards for best talent, most money raised and ultimately Ms. Club Creole! I look forward to others joining me as I continue on my journey through college and I can’t wait to see what is in store!

Kisa li fè babby! Or in other words, “What it do baby”. My name is Michlyne Bellas and I am a third-year Business Administration major. I am a Haitian American who loves to get lost and go on adventures. Throughout the gator community, I am the treasurer of Hope Meals and Vice President of the Minority Business Society. While I’m almost finished with my gator experience, I hope to leave with great memories and a positive influence on others.
