My black isn’t selecting me to be the token person to speak on your Diversity & Inclusion panel so that your next client will see that your company or team is woke enough not to be cancelled. If you haven’t figured it out by now ya’ girl is unapologetically Pro-BLACK! For those who may be unclear of what this means, I love being black and all of my blackness. No dislike of those who aren’t black.

It is possible for two things can exist at the same time. While on one hand I can be the person who does show up for you, I can also be the person who acknowledges when I need a break to recharge & refuel.

Every single morning crawling out of bed, putting on a silly uniform I told myself if I can work this job it would help fund my dream. What happens when the job drains you so much you have no motivation to look at your dream? Well, girl it is time to go in your prayer closet, listen and make a decision.
