Why is navigating the world of work so difficult as a black woman? I just feel like weโ€™re a moving target from day one.

Do your job well and they love you, do your job TOO well and theyโ€™ll make sure to humble you.

Surely Iโ€™m not the only one feeling like this.

Hello. Anyone get accepted into a part-time program in D.C. with gpa & LSAT below the school's median? I've taken the LSAT twice & plan on taking it again in October. I have all other parts of the law school application close to being finalized but the LSAT is the only thing preventing me from applying. Any insight or advice?

confession: Today I got a little too aggressive on the pint of ice cream in the freezer that only had a few bites in it.

Wife had no idea when she opened it after dinner. My life has come to sneaking treats and I donโ€™t know how to feel about it.

Hi, ladies. How long has it taken you to find a new job?

Iโ€™m currently on the hunt for a new job and Iโ€™m feeling really utterly defeated. Over the past year Iโ€™ve probably applied to at least 100 jobs and Iโ€™ve been on 8 different interviews all with no offer. Iโ€™m not sure if Iโ€™m doing anything wrong or if there is more being done behind the scenes that have nothing to do with me. Either way, Iโ€™m getting frustrated and my productivity in my current position is slacking as a result.
