About Me

My name is Aja (think "Taj Mahal" when you pronounce it).  I'm a millennial/liberal/BLACK WOMAN/special snowflake with a lot of thoughts and nowhere to express them, so I made this little blog.  Feel free to peruse at your leisure.  My interests include:

  • R&B music (esp 90s, early 2000s)
  • Economics (esp. micro level development interventions)
  • Wonky policy things in general
  • Books or TV shows that involve people with healthy, nuanced interpersonal relationships
  • Social science-y non-fiction books (unless it's war/military/defense related, eww)
  • Being right all the time
  • Blabbing endlessly to whoever wants to listen to my strong opinions (shout to my homegirl Simone and to my boyfriend)
  • Stuff about intersectional feminism and anything that generally involves black women shining and being the boss of everything
  • Learning about people's religious beliefs, spirituality, or anything else that helps them make sense of the world

So I went to the last show of Shawn Mendes’s world tour, in Mexico City. Yea, I planned my holiday flight itinerary around it, I’m not here to talk about that. What I DO want to start with first and foremost is telling you about how Shawn Mendes really played me right from the jump. I cannot explain the heartbreak I felt when I walked up to the venue at exactly 8:30p, crossed the stadium lot (which was empty since everybody that wasn’t me was smart enough to show up on time), and heard the stadium go apeshit. From the screams I knew that Shawn Mendes had obviously just hit the stage, and I could have gotten over that, except HE OPENED WITH MY FAVORITE SONG. The audacity. By the time I jogged into th...
