Hello, and welcome to Full Disclosure! I started this blog as a simple online diary to collect my thoughts and feelings. But as soon as I published my first post, I realized that what I had to say resonated with a number of people.  Everyone is moving through their own unique and complicated reality of life. But while we are all different individuals, there are some life lessons and experiences that are universal.  My hope is that by boldly sharing my truths, passions, and revelations, I will inspire others to discover theirs as well. So as you read, embrace the words that make you want learn, grow, and proudly proclaim who you are!

Much love,
Bree

Bree's Black History Watch List

       This month I’ve been determined to find ways to celebrate consciously, something I’ve found difficult since graduating from the structured activities of academia. Luckily, streaming has made it extremely easy to (literally) observe Black History Month in the safety of our own homes! So, I’ve been intentional about watching stories that highlight the black experience and boast creative involvement from black people off camera as well. So without further ado, here are the top 4 films on my Black History Month Watch List for 2021: One Night in Miami It’s the era of the play on film! I started watching this without realizing that it was based on a play, but stopped to google this fact after realizing that characters were repeatedly talking for way too long without interruption. The source material is clearly rich, and that combined with first time director Regina King’s brilliance, makes for a tour de force of a film. Leslie Odom Jr. has been a favorite actor ...

Why I Love Having a Roommate (Or, the Odd Couple, 2021)

       If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past year, it’s that I actually enjoy time to myself. This came as a surprise to me, as I’ve always considered myself to be an extreme extrovert. However, despite enjoying a solo quality time, I’ve never lived entirely on my own. Having a roommate comes with its own trials and challenges, but I can say without a doubt that I do love having roommates. I feel especially blessed now to be in a living situation where I feel comfortable and at home.      One of my roommates is a friend from college, but the other came to me as a setup through another friend. I made a post on Facebook about needing someone to sublet and he insisted that I meet this childhood friend of his. We awkwardly “interviewed” over FaceTime because of Covid, and I hung up feeling extremely nervous. She seemed nice enough but I wondered if she would be neat enough, quiet enough, and considerate enough to meet my admittedly high standards ...

How my Daily Run Became a Spiritual Meditation

     Last month, my dad invited me to a running group based on the Nike Run Club App. The  group does challenges every month and he convinced me to take part in the 30-mile challenge. This broke down into one mile per day, a seemingly easy “challenge” as far as they go. However, anyone who’s known me for much of my life can tell you that I’ve always been a sprinter in the most extreme sense. My middle school years are haunted by gym class mile times of 15 minutes and I can’t think of my brief stint on the track team without thinking about how it took me 90 seconds to run a 400 meter race during a tournament. Despite my misgivings, the lack of a gym had me ready to explore any and all forms of exercise and so I dove in.      The first two weeks of the month weren’t bad. I was running about 1 ½ miles each day and consistently clocking in at around 12 minutes per mile. I was proud to have come down to 12 minutes after starting off the first day of the mon...
