Na'Riah Merritte is a Pennsylvania-born singer, sports lover, and now international explorer moving to China. Raised by her fiercely loving adoptive mom and godmom, she writes to untangle the messy feelings of girlhood-the heartbreaks, the hope, and the hilarious in-between. When not journaling, you'll find her belting ballads, shooting hoops, or obsessing over anime soundtracks. Follow her journey: @riah_theyluvme on TikTok
