I feel so tired and fed up with being "strong" both at work and at home. I feel like black girls never get a chance to actually rest or relax unless we make the time for ourselves, and I just have no extra time right now. Who do you go to when you need help or support, if your family doesn't live near you? What do you do to support yourself?

What opinion on dating will have you like this? Mine is that app-based relationships will never last because you build up too many expectations about the person before you even meet them for the first time. I don't think that's a good way to start a relationship with someone new. What's your unpopular dating opinion?

I've been feeling a lot like this lately. What do you do when you're feeling rundown but don't really have the time or money to take time off or take a vacation? I'm so exhausted, I don't really have a social life outside of work and my family, and I haven't done anything for myself in so long. Any recommendations for perking myself up are appreciated!

Today an assistant from another office came in to pick up paperwork, and she seemed weirdly surprised I was black? She literally stopped in her tracks when she came in the front door and kept mentioning how nice it was to see "different faces" at our branch office. Before she left she said, "I hope you feel like you fit in well here." I can't tell if I'm overreacting or if my intuition is right on this one, and I'm not sure if I should mention it to my boss?
