Hey there! I’m Malik Murphy, born and raised in the heart of South Carolina, and currently 21 years young. I recently graduated from Coastal Carolina University with a degree in Sociology. It’s a field that has helped me understand the world around me in deeper, more meaningful ways. Education has always been important to me, not just as a stepping stone, but as a tool for transformation both personally and within my community.

Right now, I’m serving as a Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) through the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), a yearlong program designed to challenge, stretch, and uplift young adults as they live out their faith through service. I joined YAV not only to support others, but to grow into the kind of person I aspire to be: resilient, compassionate, and ready for the next big leap into graduate school.

Let’s all take a moment and say a hopeful prayer that graduate schools sees something special in me. I know I have something to offer, and I’m ready to prove it.

This blog is a space where I’ll share the highs, the lows, and everything in between. As I journey through this year of service and self-discovery, I invite you to walk with me. Read, reflect, and witness the growth in real time. Let’s grow together.
