Smart move. Atlanta is slowly becoming the new Hollywood. Not a fan of all his work, but a definite fan of where it's taken him and what's its allowed him to do. It can only get better from here!

They chose Atlanta because there is a lot of desperate fame seeking individuals there who will work for free, gifts, or little money.

I am extremely happy for him. He represents what can happen when you work hard to achieve dreams you never imagined. It's the same with Oprah. Whether you like their personal brand you can't deny what Tyler or Oprah can inspire. No family money, no legacy to fall back on, they are the American dream.

I couldn’t agree more. In life, you may not come from a rich family but wealth and abundance can come from you. They have blazed incredible trails, inspiring millions along the way.

Why does this post sound/look like social deck ad copy?

Same lol i thought, "oh we have a moderator in here??"

There are few opportunities that help Black women to get the mentorship we need to move up in our careers. The ADVERTISING Club of New York I’mPart Women Fellowship is one of those opportunities.

I’m an alumni of the fellowship (2018) and feel free to reach out to me with questions or if you want to hear about my experience. 💜

🗓 Deadline: June 17

A fellowship to support mid-level female professionals by providing them with tools to navigate to the next career level.

Everytime I think about work and how I can't even make a strong case for myself for a promotion I get upset. I'm literally pissed that I'm past a year mark and have yet to learn anything new since month 2. I've researched and taught myself as much as I could but many things are "learn on the job" type skills and so nothing. And yes, I've constantly asked throughout this entire year yet nothing has happened only promises that its coming soon or I'll be included in upcoming xyz.
