I wrote a (fabulous) post that applies to everyone

I wrote a (fabulous) post that applies to everyone, but especially timely for my fellow ladies. Let's support one another to thrive in our careers (and of course everything else).
.
So remember Simsola, the entry level analyst for whom I wrote a letter called “6 Ways to fake it till you make it in corporate America”? Now she’s been promoted to a mid-level position and she’s totally killing it in her new role. But of course, being the stubborn aunty that I am, I just can’t keep calm. So here I come again with some lessons for Simisola on how to thrive in corporate America, especially as an immigrant climbing the ladder [Link in bio].

Thank you @gabi_uplifts @rose23kass23 @adeolawrites

You make me smile a million times a day. Happy Birthday Mimi Jen. (She had a fun day with "bayoons", strawbebeyies", and "chocotates"). Terrific twos here we come 🙂

I am fortunate to have sat with movers and shakers

I am fortunate to have sat with movers and shakers in industries from tech to fashion to real estate, and top executives in corporate America. I’ve sat one-on-one with each of them, just listening to their stories, and learning from their struggles, successes, and tough decisions they’ve had to make. Omo, don’t be deceived by what you see on the outside oh, the hustule is real out there in the streets. On the blog today, I wrote down 5 lessons from these conversations I've had with "successful" Africans. Link in bio.

We can be angry, we can speak up, we can take all

We can be angry, we can speak up, we can take all sorts of action to combat racism, but let’s not forget to pray. Prayer works wonders. [Link in bio for more]. What prayers are you currently praying?
