I'd like to buy one nice piece of jewelry for myself this year. I have the VCA vintage alhambra pendant and 5 motif bracelet in malachite. I'm thinking of getting the vintage alhambra gold earrings (not malachite). Or something completely different. I really like the Cartier Love and Juste Un Clou collections, but wondering what else is out there that is less of a hopping on the bandwagon kind of thing, a bit different/emerging compared to VCA/Cartier but can be timeless. Four figure $ range.

Hello People,

I wanted some information on how to do it and it's consequences in the following case. Keeping in mind it's for MNCs mainly TCS

Becoming An (Advertising) Influencer

There are a ton of white advertising influencers, most are mediocre. I'm curious everyone's thoughts on being Black in advertising and if you think we are shooting ourselves in the foot by not being as present online as our white counterparts.

I finally have work that I am proud of and can back up my stance, but I feel that it's not only too self-serving, but just creates a new class of gatekeepers, especially in our community.

Hi, I’m a creative who has yet to break into the industry and I have concerns.

As I continue to finish up my portfolio and hunt for creative jobs in advertising, I cannot help but get a bit discouraged. I see and hear so many horror stories about being black in advertising and a lot of times it just seems like the risks are much greater than any reward from working in this industry. Am I wrong in thinking so? I need a job and to make a living, but at what cost? How do I work through this?

I'm going through the bowls and these white folks on here - man, so apathetic, in denial, so defensive, it's incredible to witness. I've never seen so many of them openly fight against the progress were trying to accomplish as a people. It's like they're clueless. Honestly - are you really that ignorant or are you so desperate to hold onto all the power you have that you and your ancestors stripped of the rest of us? I'm done with bowl. They really just revealed themselves, and I can't deal.
