2015 is coming to a close, and the interwebs will soon be filled with reflections, talk of “new year, new [me],” and resolutions and such. I listened to an episode of Behind the Brilliance with Lisa Nicole Bell, and she posed some questions that got me thinking about how to finish out the rest of the...

I came across an article on Thought Catalog that listed 10 things the author (Natalee Brown) thinks women over thirty are too old for.  In this episode, I highlight two of Natalee’s points, and share 5 things I think we are probably too old to do: Lack self-awareness. Put others above yourself. Get used at work,...

If you are in your mid-twenties or older, there is a good chance that your Facebook and Instagram feeds have lots of pictures and stories related to engagements, weddings, pregnancy, already born babies, and growing children.

I had the pleasure of speaking at TEDxVillanovaU on Friday, October 23, 2015.  I shared the stage with 9 other people who talked about topics including racial bias, stories of Black women who lived prior to Emancipation, biogas, and caregiving for family as they age.  I am happy I didn’t miss out on this opportunity...

This week’s Just My Thoughts goes out to Raven-Symone and her...

If you can’t tell, I like to reflect on my experiences and figure out what I’ve learned.  I have had 3 jobs in less than 5 years (fitting in with the millennial average) (and no, I was not asked to leave any of them). With each job, I learned about the bigger picture of my...

This week, I introduce my first segment (yes, I feel fancy) called “Just My Thoughts” and talk about how I almost missed out on being selected to give a TEDx talk.  I learned a few things about not counting myself out of opportunities, and taking steps toward my goals, even as I experienced fears that...

I turned 30 in May (sometimes, it still doesn’t feel real), and I spent some time thinking about the lessons life taught me over the last decade of struggles and successes.  Very quickly, those lessons are: Focus on the journey, not just the destination. Love yourself, first. Asking for help is a strength. Real friends...
