"How I Have Been Spending My Twenties"

Through a newfound medium, I wanted to narrate the eight important points of my life from 20 to 28 years old. Compared to the expectations I had at the beginning and what I have learned since, we can also reflect on what is expected by society from a woman, who is black and immigrant, at that "most beautiful age" as it is sold to us from a young age". I want to share and maybe, have others relate to that strange phase of early adulthood together. Through a very intimate lens, I picked out some of the most grueling and yet liberating moments of my life. Moments that can only be cherished today for in the past I was not aware of their importance. With vivid colors and an inexperienced brush, these are the emotions that have marked my twenties so far.
