Some are Born Great...

Attention!

Black Women...

"Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them." (Shakespeare, 1601).

To understand the sentiments of this statement, one needs to know that it means there are those when an opportunity arises where greatness is within reach if you apply yourself.

This is not just about Kamala but about Black women all over this country. Over the next two years at least, we will need the strength of our ancestors because they are coming for us with every arrow in their quiver. From every derogatory notion you can come up with, whether it's the violence (Sonya Massey, Sandra Bland, Breonna Taylor, & many other women), professional (Antoinette Candia-Bailey, Fani Willis, Claudine Gay), political (reproductive rights and sexuality).

 BRACE YOURSELF.

It will come from both INSIDE and OUTSIDE the house. Your long-time coworkers, church members, maybe family, neighbors, and even the teachers working in your child's school will show their true colors. No one is coming to our rescue but us!

*Remember Stacy Abrams.

In the current language...America will be that narcissistic boyfriend, Sis, that you can't go no contact with because we have children, so enforcing healthy boundaries is critical.

I have always spoken about women's strength, resilience, and greatness, particularly of Black Women. Black women need to recognize our Sparkle! Sis, this is not a time for backbiting, tearing each other down, or whatever mistreatment or abusive tactics you are accustomed to. Sis, you know you do...

This is an opportunity for US to recognize how powerful we are and use that prowess strategically. Just like at the office, I may differ from you on several things, but we have a job to do. We must do this now! We have endured so much from this country, yet we keep going, giving our best to this country, and putting the plight of others on our shoulders without any reprieve and fickle acknowledgments or support. Over the years we have given the reins to others for too long, and look where we are now.

Our main areas of commitment for this election cycle will be building strong support coalitions and leveraging all platforms with a clear and consistent message. Check out these resources to get involved.

*When people see your Power, they will do everything they can to keep you from seeing it. Don't let these next few years (because this will not just quiet down after November 2024) be the unraveling of a sisterhood ordained by God herself to make this world a better place.

This is the time for Black women to rise above the fray and acknowledge the Power within. In the words of Sam Cooke, a change is gonna come...because we have work to do!

PEARLs and TAXES

Good day Pearls , Now that the holiday season has come to an end our next big endeavor is TAX TIME! Of course, tax time tends to overwhelm the best of us but fiscal responsibility for business owners and individuals should not be frightful as long as you are preparing yourself accordingly. Though you may be quite familiar with filing your own taxes, don’t assume you are an expert with your small business tax responsibilities. In 2020, Pearls are Financially Strong, Resilient and Luminous. We, women small business owners need to ensure that we are rendering our businesses/side hustles healthy in all fiscal avenues.

becoming...Pearl

Happy Day Pearl, One thing 2020 has taught me is that self-reflection is the new 'wokeness'... the master key to enjoying life. Over the last 9 months, I, like a lot of people around the world, have had quite a bit of time to sit in my home and engage in moments of, at times intense, self-reflection thanks to COVID-19. I had a lot of time to look at old pictures, read old journal entries, and continue writing on my upcoming project. But this day, I had an inspiration arrive and Pearls I am thankful for this opportunity.  Self-reflection's greatest vehicle is transition. For me this time of year, August through October has always represented transition. From birthdays, the beginning of things again after some time of growth to the end of my favorite season, Summer. So here I am in this transition of seasons, work cycles, and personal growth with self-reflection as the skipper .   Self-Reflection is   becoming Strong ,  becoming Resilient , and  becoming Lumi...
