a space where i discuss things at a moment's whim. none of what i say is to be taken as fact or dogma. rather, it's simply a space where i express a part of myself and my evolution of thought.

hello, everyone! i am back with my latest installment (albeit, quite late) of my podcast, pensively. this episode is a bit different because the audio came from a video i recorded on my phone. if you are interested in seeing an excerpt of this video (originally, i had planned to upload the full episode but I could only upload a clip due to technical difficulities) check out my instagram igtv! my handle is @artsieneenee. if not, feel free to listen to the podcast audio as per usual during your leisure time. this episode will be more unscripted as i discuss three topics: why i love african music, my relationship with my african features, and my thoughts on lil nas x's latest music video. it's a lot to take in so i advise you to sit down, grab a cup of tea, and just chill as you listen. hehe!

this episode discusses a revelation that i had while on a brief social media break. i came into an interesting insight about a time in my life that i didn't know had such an impact on the origin of my anxiety and loneliness issues. it utterly moved me, so much so that i began to ponder on my relationship with my parents towards the end and what i should do about it.

this installment of the pensively podcast goes into what i've been meaning to talk about but haven't got around to: plants! until now, i was a bit hesitant to discuss plants as i felt my knowledge was quite extensive. but now that i am pursuing an undergraduate degree in plant biology, i finally feel comfortable to expound a bit more on the topic. hopefully you guys enjoy the episode! let me know what you think on my socials, which you can find through my Anchor page.
