I always tell Black people in corporate America, don't stress over them folks. They feed off our energy. Get your check, take care of your family, and support your communities. ✊🏽💯

I have this quote by her on my LinkedIn, "When you get these jobs that you have been so brilliantly trained for, just remember that your real job is that if you are free, you need to free somebody else. If you have some power, then your job is to empower somebody else."

Your job is what you do, not who you are.
Strip away the titles, the roles, the resumes—what’s left is your essence.
That’s where worth lives. Toni Morrison one of the greatest writers of all-time.

She has an interview where she says the same thing. Her father’s work ethic taught her this. The short story is quite autobiographical.
