My summertime job in h.s. was fast food, nothing sexy like lifeguard or working at Merry-Go-Round which was like a Journeys for clothes😆 Here’s my interview answer: “I worked at McDonald's. My friends and I worked the 7-3pm shift. We liked to get off early so we could take a nap during the hottest hours of the day, and then stay up all night driving all over town and kicking it with the boys we were crushing on. Then we'd get up at six in the morning and do it all over again.” Posted @withregram • @splitlipthemag

Reading a snippet of my essay linked in bio. ✨☺️✨ Posted @withregram • @splitlipthemag Watch Cija Jefferson read from her piece "Clarity is a Gift"—then read the whole thing in our ☀️SUMMERTIME☀️ issue for Black voices! https://splitlipthemag.com/memoir/0621/cija-jefferson
Sunday vibes☀️ I wrote a piece, Clarity is a Gift, about summer 2019 & 2020. It opens like this, “Summer 2019 was like the opening to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince’s “Summertime,” full of heat and anticipation. My hot girl summer.” You can read the rest at the link in my bio. I even have a mini-playlist that accompanies it. Don’t stop there, check out the other summer-themed poems, stories , & essays in @splitlipthemag too! ✌🏾 & 💜
