In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, โmy priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.โ
The lawyer I hired told me I didnโt have a case because discrimination like โthatโ was almost impossible to prove.
So I got pissed.
Took the LSAT. Went to law school. Passed the bar. Had 3 more kids.
Twelve years later, another woman from that same company was fired for the same reason. She sued them for a million dollars, and won, partly because I had kept every piece of evidence from what happened to me years prior demonstrating a systemic pattern of discrimination against women.
That company no longer exists. My law practice is thriving. And that baby they said would derail my priorities? Sheโs a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
im FOREVERRRRRRRR praying that i get my fairytale ending.. the dream career. the financial freedom. the friends. the family. the peace. the love... just everything tht i truly & genuinely deserve
Was feeling extremely down earlier today and had a small breakdown. My friend randomly called me shortly after and kept asking if I was okay like he knew, it was crazy.
I am sick and tired of people mocking those who care about the planet. Clean air matters. Living forests matter. Healthy oceans matter. Animals matter. Biodiversity matters. Wanting a livable world for future generations should not be controversial.
People making jokes about Spirit airlines and saying Frontier should be next are ignorant. When there is no longer affordable options to fly then what? Not to mention the thousands of people losing their jobs in a terrible economy! This is not funny.
