<p><em><strong>Introductions are always the hardest part&#8230;</strong></em></p>
<p>I&#8217;ve never been one for introductions. In my mind, hellos eventually, turn into goodbyes. But the goodbyes shouldn&#8217;t determine whether or not to start a relationship, its the journey in between that counts. I&#8217;ve inevitably learned something from every person that has gone and come in and out of my life. No matter how minuscule their role may have seemed, there was always a lesson waiting to be learned. Some lessons have taken me years after the goodbye to finally register. While other lessons were harder to learn than most.</p>
<p>For example, it wasn&#8217;t until after my cousin Kenneth Smith passed in a car accident three days after I saw him, that I truly valued saying &#8220;I love you&#8221; to my family and friends.</p>

<p>So this, is my introduction to you. I am Shaakira White, a third year student at the esteemed Florida A&;M University. I&#8217;ve always loved writing but when I began college I just could not find the time or energy. I&#8217;ve decided it&#8217;s time that I rekindled the love I have for my past hobbies and here&#8217;s the start.</p>
<p>This blog was named &#8216;From Queen to Queens&#8217; because my middle name, &#8216;Raanee&#8217; means queen, and I believe that all women are queens in their own right. Everything I post is coming from my heart, to all of you.</p>
<p>I look forward to this journey, and I hope that you do also.</p>
<p>From Me to You, Love.</p>
