Comprehensive Digest for my experimental memoir writing in social media posted on Facebook, spanning a decade, and in 2022 and 2023, culminating in a "reality series" about my life story focused on memories from my college years with flashbacks to high school, including a yearlong reflection on my life as a college student at Spelman at age 21. The vignettes focus on my relationship with my high school boyfriend, "my Crush," and my friendships with my Brotherhood of 3 male friends, all of whom recur as "characters," along with several of my female friends. They are complemented by photo collages and recurrently draw on the body of poetry that I produced as a teen, along with excerpts from my journal, which I first began at age 11 and have maintained since age 15, and now spans 20 volumes. I’m so so thankful to have finally completed this experimental writing series in social media, and feel very blessed to have lived it and for the foundations that it provided on my path in life. I've appreciated the encouragement from the audience and am thankful for the impact that my series of stories made on its readers and followers and for the rich feedback, comments and reflections that they shared along the way, and for their patience as "episodes" were released. Over the years, I’ve also produced an extensive archive of life writing via Facebook in tens of thousands of words that I've written over time totaling several hundred thousand, that will be useful to draw on and build upon for my books and various projects, for which I’m thankful. Hallelujah and all glory to God! #LivingTestimony ✝️🙏🏾❤️☮️🕊🌷
