It feels like I’ve been stuck in a loop for the past five years when it comes to working. I’ve had several different jobs over the years, some more stable than others. Each was a learning experience and all were traumatic in their own ways. I decided to end this cycle of crappy job situations

The title of this may seem contradictory to the masses, but I know that there are a select few that will understand what I mean. I will elaborate for those that do not. I identify as a black woman and I also identify as a black person. Still confused? Let’s break this down. I was

Today is the first anniversary of the Capitol riot. It’s also the one year anniversary of when I could have lost the person that means the most to me in this world. My life was completely different a year ago. I had been engaged for almost two months and I was recovering from an emergency
