About
Who are you? In short, I’m just an above-average young black woman with freckles and LOTS of opinions.
That’s not an answer. We want to know more! Ok. Ok! Let’s see… originally from New York’s Mid Hudson Valley, I bounced out of NY and headed to the Ivy League or something like it. Actually, I moved to NC and had some of the best times at one of the nation’s “Public Ivies“, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (GO HEELS!). There, I majored in African & African American Studies as well as Philosophy. After graduating from law school in 2009, I am presently working full-time while pursuing a Master in Public Administration because hey, bourgie folk can’t live without degrees!
No, tell us about YOU. I like to laugh, dance, listen to 90s music, daydream, talk shit, cook, make out, swim, row/scull, be right, watch foreign films, jump double-dutch, debate, watch True Blood, Grey’s Anatomy, Top Chef and random other reality shows or whatever comes on ABC Family, smile, drink, travel, read, color in coloring books, be the life of the party, eat burnt grilled hot dogs, give closing arguments, shop, pretend I’m on ANTM, and flirt. I like my coffee light and sweet, I don’t know what beets taste like and dipping french fries in ice cream seems totally normal to me. I am crazy. I am opinionated. I use bad words. I am snarky. I type really fast. I have had a fish named Terrance 
What’s this “bourgie” stuff about? You think you’re better than me? Bourgie, Interrupted (aka Bourgie Adventures) emerged after several tongue-in-cheek conversations and inside jokes. Don’t take it too seriously. FYI: when I say “bourgie,” I do not mean anti-workingclass/snob/better than you/over-privileged/bitchy. I only refer to bourgie with the best of intentions. We are fabulously young, educated, beautiful, aware, professional, creative, involved, and worldly. For better or worse, some folks would label us as bourgie (I know my family does). “According to UrbanDictionary.com (a reputable and trusted source, of course), “Bourgie” is as much an idea, and a state of mind, as it is an attitude towards enjoying good food, good friends, and good conversation, everyday. It evokes a mood of simple elegance, casual yet sophisticated—modern. Sounds good, right? So just read my blog and LOL!
Why should I read what you have to say? This is an outlet for all of the random and crazy thoughts that pop into my head. From pop culture, to the law, and issues I care about, I’m giving you whatever is on my mind. People seem to genuinely enjoy hearing my opinions on various topics and I’m quite flattered. Most of all, I’m pretty sure I know what I’m talking about. Think of this as a credible source of information with a slight bias towards all things Black, female and cupcake-like. We could be here all day, folks.
Do unicorns exist? My, that’s a silly question. Of course they do.
[...] Stuff… • First, I wanna start with a “good luck” shoutout to Ms. Bourgie. [...]
Hey love the blog…. you definitely have me on the path of letting others know what’s in the corner of my mind!!
Look forward to reading your entries!
I’m, like you, 20something, single black female, except I live in Chicago. I work full time at a non-profit organization. I took a semester off, but I still consider myself a college student. After being called “bourgie” for the umpteenth time, I finally embraced it. We have most of the same interests, so I’ll definitely be checking out what you have to say. My blog is basically a collection of my everyday experiences on how I relate to my race, as well as other races, and how my upbringing garnered certain results and reactions. Anyway, as you can tell, my comments are rather long-winded, so expect the same from my posts, if you decide to check them out ; )
@ Krispyana: I’d love to check your blog… what is it?
Sorry for the delay, my blog is athinlinebetweenloveandhate.wordpress.com
Ahhh, I love your blog and for some reason I waited until now to read the About Me section. I just graduated from the school a few miles away from yours
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this blog. Especially b/c we have very similar backgrounds; i.e. law school graduates who are too out the box for real life.
Keep up the good work girl…I’ll definitely be keeping up with you!
love the blog.

It’s because you don’t have a website/blog entered when you submitted your comment! What would it link to if there were a blue highlighted line? LOL
lol……you think you all that cuz you got a blue line!!
dang now i gotta make up a whole entire website? sheesh all i want is to not have to type my “name” each time.
dont nobody wanna do homework.
I am so glad someone else understands the tongue-in-cheek factor of the term Bougie (or Bourgieness).
Just last week I was obligated to to send a “disclaimer” to respond to an email from a Minister chastising the name of my blog. How dare I use the term “bougie”! lol
Keep up the good work. I’m coming back for sure!
yay! someone else who sees the humor in being “bourgie”. Love it!
Love love love the blog! I’m linking you as we speak!
Leave your response!
