    Speaking of, I really want to know what happened between her and the preacher. Yes, I feel entitled because it’s always “buy our book that tells you how to get the love we have” but when we they break up suddenly it’s “please respect our privacy.” Nah, write that book too.

    I want to reshare this. When I met DMX, he was speaking to a group of men who were homeless in Philly. He was energetic, warm and so giving. This is how I will remember him.

    Dear Black women: Ask for your money. Negotiate until you get your money. Chances are, they are lowballing you. The stats show it. Stand firm. You are talented. You are skilled. You’ve worked hard. You are worth it. Don’t let them tell you, you are not.

    One time my mentor told me: "You have so much on your plate that you can't taste any of it." Be present. Always.
