That thread was necessary, as a girl in her young 20s I'm awakened to the fact that:
1. You can always be more
2. Whatever you pursued for undergraduate doesn't have to necessarily determine your Masters or PhD
3. Black women are more than the eyes meet
4. There's no academic limit, you can keep on going and going and going
So a letter to my 10 years self from now, "represent us well, Ik you can"
Use LinkedIn as a search tool for people that studied your course and have built great careers or career paths you admire.
Send a message every month to at least one person in the career path or company you admire and ask for a 15-30 mins chat.
I fell in love with this scripture:
“There will come a time when your tears will fall, not because of your troubles, but because God has answered your prayers.”
— 𝖧𝖠𝖡𝖠𝖪𝖪𝖴𝖪 𝟤:𝟥
My intuition is SO crazy. I can literally have no evidence of what's going on but still know there's something going on behind my back & I'm always right😭
If it’s not PhD graduation, it’s breaking ground on a farm. if it’s not an MBA, it’s harvesting food they’ve grown for their table. If it’s not a new job or business, it’s a new car. The girls are fighting for this life thing daily, & they’re winning, & they must win some more.
