Stopped by my fav local book store & after browsing a while, I asked if they had Sky Full of Elephants… she said oddly, some just came in & one was damaged, so I got it for half off. Read the summary & imagine that..
I manage 4 employees who work at least fifty percent from home. I rarely have to even check in on them. How do I know they are working?
BECAUSE THE WORK GETS DONE.
Micromanaging is a disease of the ego.
Y’all be calling on Black gangs to “step up” and battle the police whenever Black communities are in crisis. But when it comes to a place like Gary, Indiana, why aren’t y’all calling on the Black professional class, Boule organizations, fraternities, sororities, churches, HBCUs, and Black business networks to mobilize?
Why is the expectation always that the people with the least institutional power should put themselves on the line, while the people with money, connections, degrees, organizations, and political access get left out of the conversation?
If we’re serious about Black self-determination, then everybody needs to be asked what they’re actually bringing to the table—not just the people you already expect to sacrifice.
