Educated Sistas…Stop Seeking Validation from these Money Loving Corporations
Yet again, I read in Wall Street Journal and Forbes magazine about educated sistas complaining about diversity and inclusion in the workplace lol…oh boy… I did a video about this topic earlier this year, where other sistas were front and center in the biggest business magazines in the world, whining about not having a safe space to succeed in the workplace…oh my…really people lol?

Workplace Racism-Ready to Quit and Start a Business? WAIT! Talk 2 Me First
Her child was like, under 5 yrs old or something like that. Her friends and family encouraged her to save up some money, quit, and start her own business. She hesitated for some time, but after something at work was the last straw, she took that leap of faith and started her own business. I think it was either beauty or fashion related, I forget. And some of you know how I feel about those passion fields lol. But she seemed smart as she was telling me her story.
She used most of her savings, which included part of her rent. And I think you know the rest. She and her child were homeless. Where were those friends and family who encouraged her to take that senseless risk? She was in tears thinking about the fact that her child had no roof over her head or food to eat.

New Year, New Career. Stop Picking Low Paying Jobs My People
…too many of us end up in dead end jobs because no one teaches us how important it is at 18 to 24 years old to pick the right high paying majors. When we graduate high school, many of us know that getting a college degree or trade school training can be good, but some of us don’t end up doing either of these. That’s how a lot of us end up in minimum wage jobs, struggling to pay bills, can’t afford for to raise a healthy family, often on the brink of eviction.
Helping Our Young People Survive the Lost Years
The reason our community is in last place among the 4 main American groups is in part because too many of us kick our young people out the house at 18 without a career plan or vision. As I’ve said in previous videos, our young people struggle severely during the lost years from 18 to 24 years old.
