Think of the most ghetto name you’ve ever heard. Now think of why you think it’s ghetto. Who makes the rules? Who gets to decide what constitutes civil culture and what does not? For far too long, African Americans have looked at themselves through this dystopian lens that I believe lingers from an earlier time. Your hair is

My Experience Attending One of the Biggest and Baddest Schools in PG County (Back Home)

A thick streak of purplish gold beat diagonally down on my forehead as I took the last large leap off a bulky yellow school bus into a sea of red shirts and brown faces. It was August in Prince George’s County and my very first day of public school. Amid daps, playful teenage chatter

Hello Loved Ones, Something I never really talk about online, but think about everyday (and I seriously mean everyday) is the deep love I have for my local community, the DMV, and my ethnic community. I believe I always had the passion, but it increased in high school and began manifesting into concrete ideas and actions in college.

I don't even know how to start this post. When I learned this lesson, it was far from poetic. But, I won’t get into that. Instead I want to make a sharp left turn, to Luke 6. Stick with me, if you will. 27 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those

The summer before college, I carefully pondered what I would major in. Wait, actually, that’s not fully accurate. I thought about it until I got a headache. I weighed the pros and cons of each of the career choices that bounced around in my head. I did hardcore Google research. I talked it over with loved ones, and

Hello Everyone, If you were at one of the Unashamed Introvertish* Girl Exclusive Digital Meet-Ups, or watched the review, then you know there's a special, new series looming ahead. Due to the nature of this series, it will take some time to be produced. In the meantime, I will be writing about something, but I cannot yet tell

On May 26, the cool breeze from the window beside my bed pushed through my thick curtains and hit my face, waking me up from a probably not so deep sleep. It's almost like I went to sleep one night in August of 2013, woke up, and it was graduation day. That’s how quickly it seemed to

At this age, it is easy to get caught up in the busyness of life. There is so much going on from graduations to relocations to new jobs to new relationships to simply navigating adulthood. With all of these equally wonderful and time-consuming activities, it’s easy to forget why we are here. Here’s how Jesus responded to a disciple

I have a confession to make. I don’t really officially know how to play dominoes. Whenever I had a pack, all I did was line them up and knock them down. That’s how most people play, in the game and in real life. You’ve seen it before, one person starts yelling and arguing at another and then before

Due to my introverted nature, I never realized how hard it was to stand out from the crowd. I always just did, not flashily, but subtly. Something I recently realized on a deeper level is that standing out from the crowd, however, even for adults can be just a little bit scary. It takes courage to be the

I believe that God has called us to be good stewards over everything that He has given us. It is important for us to keep our spirits healthy by feeding them the Word of God, but it is also important to take care of the physical bodies that He has given us. Our God is intentional, so we

About me
My name is Monet A. Stevens, and I am not hiding
anymore. I started this blog back in
2013 to empower introverts to love their unique personalities and encourage
them in a world that praises extroversion. After a long break, I have
decided to return with the beautifully crafted lessons God has taught me since
then and the stronger and wiser mindset that He has given me. This year, and for the rest of my life, I
hope to walk further in my purpose and fulfill my personal and professional passion
to build and strengthen individuals and communities through mass communication. I don’t profess to know everything, but that’s
where God and you come in. No matter who
you are or what your personality type is, I hope that we can continue to grow
together, be our best selves together and encourage one another.
Love,
The Unashamed
Introvertish Girl
