    What can I say… You are amazing!! Firstly, this Vlog felt like an independent film/documentary vibe… I loved the bit when you were contemplating if you should change into your riding clothes, and then the camera cut to you trying them on in your bedroom. I also absolutely loved the choice of music and that sweet, sweet, sweet moment, when Moo climbed onto your chest with that song playing 😢 I also really loved seeing you at work at your new job! It’s one thing to explain it but another thing to see you in action… And I’m so happy for you! What an amazing opportunity for you! 🎉 Lastly, The moments when you stopped and told us how happy you are and how excited you feel that everything is coming together was so, so sweet! You can really tell that you don’t take anything for granted, and I know we all love watching you on this journey, and getting to witness how far you have come! So excited to see more content! ❤

    Currently trying to write up my own History PhD, and completely relate to being to explain my ideas orally, and struggling to articulate it in writing. I was speaking about exactly that at my last supervisor meeting haha. I think there is a difficulty with academic writing, as you are attempting to reconcile broader arguments, examples from source material, historiography and where your own position sits. Its tough! Glad you are getting somewhere, I have had a very similar experience in the last few months and hoping to crack it soon.

    Kaelyn, when I listened to the podcast at the end, I had just one thought: "She is such a wise woman." Not that it wouldn't be evident from your KZread videos. But it somehow blends in with the regularity of days that you capture. But in this podcast, when you focused on specific topics, it was so obvious. It just blew my mind how clever and elaborate your thoughts are. Thank you for your job to share yourself with others. There are huge things you will achieve.

    I came across some pieces that heavily cite early travel records during a grad seminar I took called "Visions of Africa". Not my area of expertise, but some cool travel writing was in "Scratches on the Face of the Country; Or, What Mr. Barrow Saw in the Land of the Bushmen", "Victorians and Africans: The Genealogy of the Myth of the Dark Continent", "The Image of Africa: British Ideas and Action, 1780-1850" by Phillip Curtin, "Ibn Battuta in Black Africa" by Said Hamdun & Noel king , “The Moor in the Text:Metaphor, Emblem, Silence” by Israel Burshatin, "Memoirs of an Arabian Princess" by Emily Ruete.
