    Friendly reminder: Having a degree does not make you more deserving of a livable wage than someone without one.

    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 didnā€™t negotiate my salary well, she used her power to make sure I was paid well. Grateful for people like her.

    So not mature enough to have an abortion. But mature enough to ... be a whole parent. Our leaders are painfully incompetent.

    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.

    Not-so-friendly reminder: The number of Black kids dying by suicide has risen 71 percent in the last 10 years. Black kids between 5 & 12 are dying at twice the rate of the general population. We can correct our children without emotional abuse.
