"So why you wanna fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to hold you you ain't got no one to care
If you'd only understand dear nobody wants you anywhere
So why you wanna fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly" -- Nina Simone

 

I know, why would I begin a blog about my travels abroad to study Shakespeare with such a heavy, deep-rooted, organic, and downright real song? Well, because of all those reasons. I spent so much of my life running from me, trying to change me, modify me -- and just feeling like there was no way I could be good enough for my dreams. The best way I can put it is that I had a need to put myself down as if, in doing so, I was being righteous. What a waste! So here I am, less than 48 hours from the trip of a lifetime that has been funded by so many of you and supported by so many more! I am taking a leap of faith across the pond and studying Shakespeare for Four Weeks at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art (LAMDA). 

This journey has been one of first. It was my first time launching a Crowdfunding campaign and blatantly saying "Hey! I ain't got it all figured out folks!" Learn more about my campaign here --->  Mourhia Goes to LAMDA. 

This is the first time I've purchased a passport and a passport card (I heard the card isn't necessary but, hey, you can never be over-prepared) and the first time I've really traveled outside of the country. I am elated and grateful for the support I've received both here in the USA and abroad. Please be sure to subscribe to my blog if you'd like to stay up to date with regards to this trip and thank you for all of the love and support. 

"You're witnessing my moment, ya see." ; )
