A new article feature about me!! This one is very special. It comes from an amazing woman I had the pleasure of managing for over a year. Even more special I had this impact managing a virtual team.

Lauren Keyana Palmer,
We like to spell out and call our legends by their full name. Isaiah 43:19 says, BEHOLD I WILL DO A NEW THING.
You stepped into our hearts and on our screens over 20 years ago and immediately you became ours. A light that beams like a 5:30 AM sunrise through a window pane in Robbins, Illinois. A laugh that echoes and reverberates like a 6-year old child named Akeelah spelling her name into a floor fan on a hot summer day.
The Character of your character has always filled every room that your spirit has touched.
You have given us permission to Speak Louder. Love harder. Dream Bigger, all while being your full self. The gag is: That thieves can never steal from champions. Let that kiki be what continues to carry you — As you have championed Black Women time and time again. Hold on to the love that you have given everyone else, but this time make sure to save some for yourself.
Mother May I tell you - that baby you will always be Keke Palmer.
Love,
#ESSENCE

Even some of the most sophisticated brands have no idea what they’re doing. This is why the world needs you to promote your work. You’re one post away from your dream job or career. Keep going.
It’s International Women’s Day
I have one simple request:
Please stop expecting us to work like we’re not mothers…
To mother like we don’t work…
And maintain insanely unrealistic beauty standards and do the lion’s share of domestic duties on top of it all
We’re tired.
"we teach people how to treat us by the way we treat ourselves"
Two questions that have helped me more than affirmations
1. Do I love and respect myself?
2. If I do, what does that look like?
They have forced me into action and being more intentional with who I spend my time
The collection, celebrating Black beauty across the African diaspora, is inspired by Disney princesses like Snow White, Rapunzel, Tiana, and Cinderella. #ESSENCE https://t.co/LoYFfmOoti
The Dream
1. Work on projects and in environments where respect and kindness are the default
2. Do that work with people that are inspired and driven to create something that will impact others in meaningful way
Absolutely annoyed by this interviewer.
So impressed by Kelly's answer.
Stay ready, as you shine there is always someone waiting to dim your light. Continue to know your worth.
Kelly called him out to his face & he still didn’t get it. Even, Marsai Martin caught it. Outside of Destiny’s Child, Thee Kelly Rowland is an international superstar, actress, author & businesswoman! She’s been in this industry 25+ years & in 2022 you’re still comparing? 🤦🏾♂️
