PALMETTO HEELS

Palmetto Heels (PTL) is the true identity of our land—a name that reflects both the strength of South Carolina and the resilience of North Carolina. "Palmetto" honors South Carolina, symbolizing the enduring spirit of the palmetto tree, while "Heels" represents North Carolina, inspired by the legacy of the Tar Heels—those who stood their ground with grit and determination.

Founded by Amir Qawihsan, Palmetto Heels is a movement away from a name tied to colonial rule and the transatlantic slave trade. The name Carolina, given in honor of King Charles, carries a history that does not represent the people who built this land through struggle, culture, and perseverance.

We move forward with Palmetto Heels—a name that embodies our rich traditions, our diverse heritage, and the unbreakable spirit of the people. This is more than just a change in name; it’s a reclamation of identity, a celebration of culture, and a step into a future we define for ourselves.

Serial Monogamist

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.

Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
