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.
