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

Why Don't You Just Care About People?

I have a real problem with a continuing conversation I've been having with someone (let's call him Bob) about this whole COVID-19 thing. And it's pissing me off. In general I've always realized Bob does not share my civic ideals of people coming together for the common good. Instead, he leans toward that whole worry about your own profits and pull yourself up by your bootstraps mentality that I detest on a very deep level. Policy is something I'm very interested in and passionate about, and I love hearing about different policy responses to society's pressing questions on sustainable development, education, energy efficiency, immigration reform, health care reform, etc. What I don't love is when we come to a place where we can't agree on what basic human decency is. Let me explain. So here's the crux of the argument: My general thoughts on governmental response to COVID-19 (as a big government liberal) -- The disease is spreading, kudos to the ...

Building Community/Asking for Help

Here's a rambling blog post about how I suck at building community. And how I break my neck to do things on my own instead of asking for help. I didn't realize this was an issue until about my mid-20s when I was in Peace Corps. Through a lot of self-reflection and journal writing, I realized my priorities were messed up.  Interpersonal relationships are more important than your professional career. (Ok, that doesn't seem like a groundbreaking idea, but back then I was too future-oriented and didn't stop and smell the roses and make friends and do silly things and all that jazz.) When I first arrived in Panama, I thought it was silly for everyone in my community to be confused about why I moved there alone when the rest of my family was in North and South Carolina. While I regret absolutely nothing about moving to Panama and would do it again in a heartbeat--THEY HAVE A FUCKING GOOD POINT. Why didn't I think twice about leaving behind friends, family and community ...
