    When I was interviewing for a job, I asked for a certain salary. The editor, a Black woman, made sure to say ā€œNahā€ and offered me $20K more. Even when I didn’t negotiate my salary well, she used her power to make sure I was paid well. Grateful for people like her.

    Someone joked that I ā€œmust not have any side gigsā€ bc I go to bed early. I want us to get over this idea that sleep is a hindrance to success. I work hard, manage my time well and prioritize rest. My sleep is just as important to me as my work. Get with the winning team.
