Should I Try Day Trading?
I've been messing around with stocks and investing, and lately I've been considering day trading. I know that it can be risky, but I'm in the mood for a little experimentation. I got the idea from a youtube video that I watched. I was watching to get more information on a business idea that I … Continue reading Should I Try Day Trading?
The Legacy of MLK
I am the culmination of his dreams almost fulfilled. I wish that I could say his dreams have come true, but people and life are much more complicated than that. In some ways, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud of us today. There is integration. There is black excellence, and there are white … Continue reading The Legacy of MLK
Starting a YouTube Channel
Am I a content creator now? I guess so! I am starting a YouTube channel to complement this blog. The main reason is because I really want to force myself to turn this into something.

I've been reading a novel recently called "The Vanishing Half," and it is really good. I couldn't put it down today, what a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I'm only about halfway through, but so far it covers a multitude of topics, the biggest one being colorism. As a dark-skinned black woman, I … Continue reading On Colorism
Entrepreneurial Spirit
I have come to the realization that I can't work for a big company, or anyone else really. Working for myself feels like my only option for my future. I don't want to get lost and go unnoticed, overworking myself for beans at some huge corporation. And, I don't love being on demand for someone … Continue reading Entrepreneurial Spirit
It’s My Workplace and I’ll Cry if I Want To
I'm about to say something controversial: I think that it's alright to cry at work. Sometimes you just need a good cry! I've cried in the workplace twice, and the second time was quite recently. I won't discuss that situation now because it was fairly recent and I'm not in a space where discussing it … Continue reading It’s My Workplace and I’ll Cry if I Want To
