I’m going to close out this Women’s History Month with this picture.
There’s a lot of history behind this haircut, the day the pic was taken and why. I’ll save that story for another day.
I just want every Black woman reading this that being strong is not an excuse for neglecting your emotional well-being. Showing how much you can “take” is no longer a health plan. I’m not saying flip every table. I’m saying be at the table and speak up clearly when you and your time/energy/resources are the topic of discussion. Be real ok with people being pissed at yoir boundaries and nonnegotiables. Reject their projections resulting from their hidden agendas and booga back motives.
Show up for yourself and when you’re struggling to do that, break the emergency glass on your speed dial list. That’s the importance of having a solid tribe where you all hold a safe space for you to acknowledge your feelings, process those feelings, then make decisions based on what you deem as how you want to feel for the days ahead. How 👏🏾do👏🏾 you 👏🏾WANT 👏🏾to 👏🏾feel?👏🏾
In this pic I had NOTHING….hair, money, job, shelter yet I felt confident in accomplishing EVERYTHING! Know that outside sh*t don’t matter until that power inside you is activated and honored.
Belie’ that! Sit in your space tonight and FEEL your presence. Pay attention to how your skin feels without touching your skin. Sense every heartbeat. Feel every inhale. Sitchoassdown and feel the heat that radiates from your body. Spend time with YOU and I dare you to believe in what you have in your soul to do. Dare yourself daily so you can reprogram those doubts into documentation of your magnificence.
Dassit. I’m done writing for the month of March.

“#Leadership, to me, is about lifting others up and bringing them on the journey with me and giving back through mentorship and shared experiences. It’s about creating a roadmap for those who are starting, growing, questioning, or reinventing their career and continuing to be an example of those who paved the way.

When I see a new opportunity to give back, share experiences, stretch my skillset, and develop others, I know it’s time to move forward and I embrace the journey!

My advice to others is to be open to new and exciting opportunities even when they may give you butterflies. Much of my growth can be attributed to having an amazing, supportive network (current and former colleagues, classmates, mentors, etc.) and being open to new opportunities even when they were roles or locations outside of my comfort zone.

Also, be open and transparent about your career goals. Others may support your journey, but they do not define it: YOU are the architect of your path.

It’s important to embrace the journey and adopt a mindset of modeling what is possible for others as opposed to viewing challenges solely as obstacles.”

This week’s dialogue showed me something.
There is an opportunity for people, ADULTS to connect how their experience may or may not allow them to be open to other experiences and perspectives.
I like connecting experiences with belief systems and building bridges to new views. Sometimes, it’s easier said than done. However, some of us welcome the opportunity for growth. This is why people who attend my Lowcountry Tables always want to come back for more.

If you could take a year off, what would you do?

I want to do this again. Google the hashtag to see a little of what I spend my time doing in real life.

I admit slapgate gave me a tiny release I needed after dealing with foolishness for the past month. I noticed I am having to do more frequent awareness check ins with myself lately to keep myself grounded. Not to be confused with being numb by any means, but just processing and putting things into perspective so they do not consume me.

Be honest in the comments. Were you tense before you read this and noticed you had your teeth clenched or shoulders tightened? 👀 I did.💜✊🏾

Get Up SC!!!! THIS is Bulldog Tenacity we needed in place! If you or someone you know needs this information, come on back to Da Burg!

SC State University to clear $9.8 million in student debt!

In his first major executive decision, South Carolina State University Acting President Alexander Conyers announced Thursday that the university will clear account balances of more than 2,500 continuing students. The move will provide much-needed relief to students who were previously unable to return to college due to financial hardship caused primarily by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are committed to providing these students with a clear path forward so they can continue their college education and graduate without the burden of financial debt caused by circumstances beyond their control,” Conyers said.

The vast majority of the students set to receive notification of aid beginning today are continuing students not yet registered because of past due account balances and students who stopped out of college entirely because they and their families could not afford to pay.
