Live in ATL. Contemplating moving to Charlotte for love. Concerned it’s too small and not diverse enough. Anyone live there and enjoy it? What do you and other bp’s do for fun?

I find Both Atlanta and Charolette to be mostly black and white. So imo, neither are truly culturally diverse cities, but NC in general had much more Hispanic culture, so I’d say Charolette is more diverse

Charlotte not diverse enough? I don’t what your metrics are but Charlotte - and NC in general - is definitely diverse. Market is smaller though and could impact your job prospects

Great question

Well I have to agree Charlotte isn’t diverse, but having said that. It’s ok.

Honestly, for me it’s a mix. I need diversity in culture because I like diversity in food. For example, I love Asian cuisine. Not Chinese take out, but when I want Thai, Chinese, Lao, Vietnamese, etc I know I can find it made by the people of those cultures.

On the other hand, yea I also like diversity of blacks people. Black people who aren’t trying to “fit in” to white culture necessarily. I feel like because there is such a large black population in Atlanta, we’re free to be whatever black person we want to be. There’s a space for everyone. I personally love art, food, good conversations, and interactive activities...

Charlotte is like a mini ATL. You'll be fine.

Hello People,
Looking for advice based on experience. Currently living with in-laws that have come to support us with our first baby. My in-laws and I have had a rocky start to our relationship due to ours being an inter-religion marriage. Many things have been said that I’m neither able to forgive nor forget. I have a very kind husband who understands my sentiments but wants to try to have a cordial relationship with them now for the sake of our baby (and baby’s relationship with grandparents)

I’m consciously trying to unlearn the habit of saying “congratulations” when someone says they’re having a baby. It’s not an accomplishment!😂 Plus, I want to counter the assumption that having children is always “good.” It’s hard to find other things to say, though!

Feeling really lonely this holiday season and I think it's time for a change. I love my job but I'm realizing I devote too much time to it. I would really like to expand my social circle and potentially meet someone, but I don't really know where to start. Ideally my partner would also work in healthcare, but it isn't a dealbreaker for me. Ladies what should I do?? I'm a 32 year old woman with no kids.
