When I think about my first job & the trajectory of my entire career.

Summer 95 a trini clothing shop on Gunhill Rd, Bx😏

Every job, every hustle, every idea that turned into a failed or underdeveloped business in my 20’s.

My only intention for as long as I
I see now, it’s all been apart of the plan.

I loved & hated my 1st corp job.

The yt were condescending & unapproachable.

Some of us, were worse at times. cliquish & insecure. You can do good as long as it ain’t better than them.

I get it tho, for a long time they
made us feel like it could only be one of us successful in a room.

I remember when I quit Phillip Morris. They were looking for a reason to fire my ass anyway so I left before they could.

I couldn’t quite fit into the “Code Switching” culture.
quitting Phillip Morris bc
I get so unprepared and unable to adapt. I walked in confident as shit bc I secured that job as a high school drop out 😏

No, of course I lied to them..but I sold them me. I’m self taught and then it wasn’t anything I wasn’t willing to learn to be successful in my role.
I quit questioning my worth & as a matter of fact I have questioned my worth several times throughout my professional career.

Something about becoming a mom of a princess at 28. I knew I couldn’t allow insecure mofo’s make me feel small because of my gifts.
I decided Jan 11th 2012 :

✨Leave ppl better than you encountered them.

✨Never be afraid to celebrate someone else.

✨Always add Value, your skills, exp & voice matter.

✨Sharing your resources will never diminish the value you bring. It only adds to it
✨You belong in every room your in. When your time is up, exit to the next rm.

✨Every position/job adds to your ever growing list of lessons learned.

✨Stay true to your WHY; Make a positive impact & leave the door open for others when you exit
Y’all have no idea what’s happening for me right now. This really has all been apart of diving timing. 🥺

I will never doubt or question my journey ever again. 💕

Gn y’all thanks for reading my random rant 😩💕
