For those of you wearing natural hair or protective styles at work, how do you handle the constant comments or questions? Some days I brush it off, other days it just feels exhausting. What’s helped you keep showing up authentically without feeling like you have to explain yourself all the time?

Some days I let it roll off, other days it just drains me. What’s helped is finding a couple people at work I can vent to when it gets heavy. Having even one person who “gets it” makes a huge difference in feeling less alone.

Did anyone else adopt the new Florida Wonders curriculum? We just adopted it this school year, and I teach 4th grade. My team and I have not found a good flow, schedule, or whatever you want to call it. We feel like it teaches too many skills in one lesson, and we are not able to truly teach anything “deep” enough for students to master. Does anyone have any insight? What do you do? Do you like the curriculum? Why or why not? Would you be willing to share what you do weekly/daily? Thanks!

Curious what anyone thinks about cologne? Is it a turn on? I am not really into it.. but I just got a whiff of this dude at the gym and the cologne did something to me 🥰 It was really subtle. I tend to just like the way a man smells (not body odor but just natural scent) and don’t usually like it covered up, but wow this guy tonight 🥵 I might might buy some but i figured it would be gay to ask him “what are you wearing” because that prob isn’t something the bros at the gym do.
