January 14, 2023January 15, 2023Kay0

I don’t work from home or remotely – I feel like I should start with that because it’s something a lot of folks assume because I’m a travel blogger.

September 28, 2022October 6, 2022Kay2

Again, it’s Oregon so it’s not THAT surprising, but it is something that as a Black person (or anynon-white person) would notice.
