Hobbies
- Cooking. When I am finished with applications I'd love to dive into my own food heritage and learn more about African cuisine by cooking from the book "In Bibi's Kitchen."
- I love long walks and staying active in general. A few years ago I got into indoor rock climbing so I'm hoping to start that again in the New Year.
- Reading. I've found freedom in learning that it's okay to not read "the classics" or to put a book down if I find it boring.
