Ebony Intro Speech

Self-Introductory Speech

Transcription of Speech

Good day, my name is Ebony and today I will be using this book to introduce myself to you all. I have chosen a book because there are many layers to books, but those layers all embody levels of creativity. Creativity is a universal language that allows us to connect with each other on a more personable level.  Creativity is the root of my essence, as everything that I am in life, is a direct result of embodying my creativity. I am an aspiring musician, author, and entrepreneur and I am excited to give you all a glimpse into my world today. 
 
My creativity budded from my love for writing. From an incredibly early age, I have always felt an inclination to write my feelings, thoughts, and fantasies. As I got older, my writing became more distinct, and rhyming, became my chosen method of delivery. I have developed my artistry over the years and have released two mixtapes under the stage name, Ebony Queen. Recording music is a fantastic way to capture major events in life, in a way that can be re-explored often. I enjoy being able to revisit my music and admire my personal growth as a writer with each new project. 
 
As I grew in my music, I began to have the desire to write more fulfilling works. I started to explore authoring short stories, poems, and have now graduated to writing my first book. While initially my writing started out as a method of outlet, it grew and became a way for me to escape my reality by creating fantasy worlds. Not only can I explore the worlds that I am familiar with, but I can also delve deep into worlds that I create and let my creativity flourish. 

 With my creativity flourishing, my writing has inspired me to pursue entrepreneurship. I do not like to limit myself and often, creatives are required to put themselves in a singular box and pursue one creative career at a time. Instead of looking to be successful in one creative lane at a time, I have created my own media company, which allows me to publish and distribute my artwork for profit without any middle-men. Writing has been a godsend in my life. It has allowed me to heal myself, explore my inner thoughts, and speak my truth aloud publicly. 

 In conclusion, what this book represents is the creativity that awaits it. When the pages are clean and crisp, a new story is waiting to be inked, to be told. When the pages are full, there is a story to be explored. My story is one filled with music, imagination, and business. Creativity and writing have been a driving force in my life. I hope my love for writing has given you all a good glimpse into who I am, what I do, and what I am striving for in life. Creativity connects us and is what makes the world fun!

That Silly Goose Grass!

Ebony

Natural Sciences Final   

03/29/2023 

That Silly Goose Grass!  

  Have you ever pulled a green thing off a cloth out of a freshly cleaned batch of laundry? Or maybe noticed some extremely sticky things on the tip of your shoes or in the cuffs of your jeans? They call that Goosegrass! While fascinating, it is also annoying and can be bothersome. The biological name of Goosegrass is Eleusine Indica. Eleusine Indica is a warm season, annual non-native grass commonly found in any disturbed sites throughout Florida. Most famously known for sticking to shoes and clothes until picked off, it is considered an invasive weed that can be particularly difficult to control. It blooms annually and can only be controlled with season-long herbicide treatment. It is categorized as a low alert level due to its ability to be maintained. 

  I know what you’re thinking, why not just get rid of it? Put simply, there does not seem to be any final solution to the overgrowth of the weed Goosegrass. With that information, it can be expected that it will continue to spread and prosper in environments that it can survive.  “It is considered an invasive weed due to its vigorous growth and abundant seed production. Seeds germinate near the surface of moist soils with temperatures above 65°F (Chauhan and Johnson 2008).” (“HS1178/HS1178: Biology and management of goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.) in tomato, pepper, cucurbits, and strawberry,” n.d.) With Florida’s unique and supporting environment for growth, it is safe to assume that it will continue to spread and invade Florida’s biome. In addition, I must emphasize that it’s specific to the biomes that goosegrass can be expected to thrive in. Again, that is wet and moist lands. 
 

  While not yet possible to eliminate, it is controllable. “In plasticulture production systems, goosegrass can be controlled with the use of plastic mulches and hand pulling of small plants that emerge in the planting holes during the cropping period.” (“HS1178/HS1178: Biology and management of goosegrass (Eleusine indica (L.) Gaertn.) in tomato, pepper, cucurbits, and strawberry,” n.d.) Although the process described is not yet a process that is made easy or readily available to the public for personal overgrowth control, domestic sprays and weed control are available. With minimal effort, the inconvenience of goose grass can be minimized. I assume with further research; complete annihilation efforts will start. 

  While it is an invasive species, I do believe that it does not have a great enough negative impact on the vegetation and environment of Florida to be a pressing issue. It may stick to you but there is no evidence of it ever being fatal. I never personally experienced Goosegrass to the extent I have here in Florida. So, it does prove interesting to know it is an invasive species. However, I must say I have never lived in an environment as watery as Florida. As covered previously, it is mostly in wet and warm environments that the weed prospers.  Goosegrass appears on a long stem as flat leaves with no hairs. Again, it is a nuisance, but not enough to trigger immediate investigative research into its annihilation. My favorite part about goose grass is picking it off!

Step 3: Refine

QUEENDOM 👑

2024 is nearly here & we’re closing out our 1st annual New Year Reset Plan 🫧

Check out our last two posts for the 1st and 2nd stages of the RESET: RELEASE and RENEW 🔮

The final stage of the RESET is REFINE 📖

Remember! These tasks can be accomplished in any order at anytime before the NYE countdown 🎆

Finish off the year strong by knocking out these last few tasks with the intention of remembering who you are & where you’re going! 🏁

⬜️ Reflect on the promises you’ve previously made to yourself.💭 How many of them did you accomplish this year, were there setbacks? 🤔How do you plan to move forward? 🌱Write these goals and plans out in a safe place and refer to them throughout the year to remind yourself of your purpose when needed! 🗯️

⬛️ Cut the cord ✂️ by removing anything (or anyone 👀) that is weighing you down before the end of the year. Have those hard convos with people that you’ve been avoiding! Endings are new beginnings. 🙌🏾 If it’s weighing on you now, it’ll still be weighing on you next year until you let go. Free yourself from the expectations of the world and people. Practice all the cleansing rituals needed to go into 2024 feeling light and full of hope ✨

◽️Lastly, update your bucket list! ✈️ What countries do you want to visit over the next five years? 🌍 What attractions are must-do experiences in 2024? 🎢 Do you have anything you want to buy that you have to save up for? 💰Scratch off the tasks you’ve completed and add more to keep life adventurous and thriving ⚡️

This concludes Queendom’s 2024 New Year RESET 🔃
