I used to think vision boards were a waste of time until I took the time to do one! It made a difference to write out what I wanted for the future! I didn’t even have to look five years out – I just needed to get through the current year. A vision board puts your dreams into a graphic
I was listening to T.D. Jakes talks about the moments his children remember, like spending time with him instead of the toy he purchased them. It got me thinking. What are the moments in time that I remember vividly, like they just happened yesterday, in my personal and business lives? For those moments, I remember where I was, what was
I should have taken the Caregiving 101 class instead of learning to fix my car in my high school Shop class. Wait!…there wasn’t such a class offered in any school I attended!

I learned finance at the kitchen table. My mother worked three jobs for us to live in a “nice neighborhood” and go to school in a “good public school district” in Brooklyn, NY – shoutout to P.S. 233 in District 18, located in the white bastion of East Flatbush, Brooklyn. She knew that if we went to a top-rated school,
2020 was a year that many women were awaiting – not because of COVID-19, but because, finally, they were able to test out flexible work arrangements (FWA) that were voluntarily given to them by their Human Resource departments!
