Why Black Women Have To Quit Settling For BS In Their Careers
Friday Mar 15, 2024
Friday Mar 15, 2024
This week, I'm delving into a disturbing yet unfortunately not uncommon incident involving Diane Abbott, a distinguished member of the UK parliament, and explore how sadly tolerating BS is a reality for many mature Black women stuck in jobs that are, well, past their prime.
We're getting real about the toll of the double bind of limited opportunities, the financial tightrope many of us walk, and the weight of that "strong Black woman" stereotype. We'll also get real about the toll this BS takes on our well-being, from wrecking our self-esteem to being treated like you're invisible.
So, if you're nodding along thinking, "Yeah, that's totally me," then it's time to ask yourself: why are you settling for less?
I'm here to shake things up, spark some change, and remind you that staying silent is no longer an option.

Be Your Own Biggest Cheerleader
Friday Feb 09, 2024
Friday Feb 09, 2024
A video from Shonda Rhimes caught my eye this week. In a world that sometimes seems determined to make us feel small, it's essential to remember the power of being our own cheerleaders.
As Black women , we've weathered our fair share of challenges and triumphs. Yet, amid the demands of work, family, and societal expectations, it's easy to forget to celebrate ourselves and acknowledge our worth.
So in recognition of the week of love , I want to focus on the concept of "showing up" for ourselves beyond mere presence

Quality Over Quantity: How Black Women Can Overcome the Need to Overperform
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Friday Feb 02, 2024
Since the New Year I've been feeling that I'm underperforming and berating myself for it......
As it turns out for no good reason.
On reflection I found that I'd actually underestimated my output and that my focus was a little skewed!
I'd been measuring my output and not the substance of my productivity.
I get it – the unsustainable pressure to excel and prove ourselves - but it's unhealthy.
In this piece, I share personal insights, self-reflection tips, and practical strategies to break free from that cycle.
