Send us Fan Mail As Full-Time Black Women we sometimes struggle with the idea of doing what is best for us.

Tod...

This is the time that your manager rates you on a job they have...

Send us Fan Mail When we’re growing through life we learn the importance of intelligence and know-how. We value experience because with it we believe it increases a person's knowledge base. We also are groomed to believe that emotion and intelligence are mutually exclusive, meaning they cannot exist together at the same time. For example, the patriarchal misogynistic thought that women make h...

Send us Fan Mail A closed mouth doesn’t get fed. We’ve all heard that saying or something similar. It’s no less true in corporate America.

Send us Fan Mail Forgiveness is a process where someone who has been wronged chooses to let go of their resentment, and treat the wrongdoer with compassion. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting or condoning the wrongdoing, granting legal mercy, or reconciling a relationship.

However,  in our day to day li...
