I am a lot of things: a black woman. a journalist. an educator. a human being. a sister, a daughter, a friend. I am also exhausted, beat down, hopeless, dejected, lonely and scared. But the one thing I am not is βokay.β

If you don't feel qualified, apply anyway. I had Big Imposter Syndrome when I applied for this team βΒ I still do sometimes! β but the environment fostered is so kind and supportive, I'm so happy I took the chance.

One of the best lines Iβve ever read in an OOO email, courtesy of one that I just received: βIf this is urgent, take a deep breath because few things really are.β THAT energy.

It's Sunday. The first one of 2023!
Time to re-share my "templates" folder with y'all so you can organize your life and stop forgetting when you need an oil change or what the name of that really good recipe was.

Happy holidays to all the big city, high-powered career women who in the next week will inherit a castle/inn/farm, make Christmas cookies, drink hot cocoa, put on the townβs winter festival, find love and quit their jobs.

This is absolutely devastating news. I started my career as an @NPRinterns. I hope they reconsider this and remember how integral interns are to an organization and its future.

π¨ My goodness. Facing budget shortfalls, @npr just announced it will cancel the Summer 2023 internship program. This makes me truly sad. I may be wrong but I don't recall this happening in my nearly 30 years. @NPRinterns are part of NPR's lifeblood & a pipeline of great talent.

Speaking of improving β It's my first time in management and I'm learning as fast as I can. If you're up for going on that journey with me, I'll do my best to always listen, treat you with empathy and be your biggest advocate.
