PDO

First days in my journey to the east and first stop was NYC. Such a big place with a different atmosphere, and smelly roads! But the view from almost anywhere is absolutely gorgeous.
Most of our sessions were standard protocol. My absolute favorite was hearing about "sexual harassment". Me, being the scaredy cat I am was all like "omg, I'm going to be pulled down some dark alley" when in reality they just mean cat calls. You know, like "hey ladies 😉" or really sly things. But the reality of it is, I've gotten worse than that just walking down the street in Durham! Not to say this won't be a completely different experience or anything, but I'm a little more prepared than I thought.

The web page to view this blog if you didn't notice is "black to the homeland" which I felt was an appropriate title since 1) I'm black and 2) I'm going to North Africa. I've asked my RD (resident director: lady who is American but fluent in Arabic and Moroccan culture) how it would be for me since I am African-American (Incase you were wondering!). She pretty much said there's race discrimination in morocco, and I'm just wondering will I ever catch a break at this point!? But, nonetheless I am do excited to be going to such a beautifully diverse place. Keep me in prayers, stay blessed, and stay tuned! Departure in T - minus 20 hours!!!

Love,

First time abroad :)
