The best career advice that I learned is don’t ever attach your-self to a PERSON, a place, a company, an organization or a project. Only Attach your-self to your mission in life and your PURPOSE. That’s how you keep your power and keep your peace!

@@ms.hawkins6189 I just don’t care for her and I don’t believe that this is the platform for her. Maybe is she recorded with the women it would be ok but in previous episodes, she usually isn’t there to listen, she’s always there to be confrontational and to hear herself speak. I completely understand that she’s educated and that’s she’s been in some high places but she just has this stanky ass thing about her. Watch some of the other videos with her and you’ll see that many many people don’t care for her on this platform.

[@evilearthego5256]

I told somebody before that as men, specifically black men, sometimes we feel that we don’t have many spaces that are our own without someone trying to come in and inflect their will. A lot of us are upset that the women’s pod being on the channel, not that we don’t want y’all to have your own thing, but it’s like where are our safe spaces? It feel like we can’t have shit

Look what they’ve produced with these two beautiful, educated and melaniated women in front us! I’m so blessed to Black. Imagine what would happen if our young kings brought their talents back home? 1. Disrupting Wellness Norms 2. Insult The Standard 3. Do whatever scares you the most. Your greatness comes from what you overcome not with what you are comfortable with 4. Stay focused on what ur spirit girds you to! Don’t turn away from your passion!!
