To everyone who helped bring the Obama Presidential Center to life, thank you. Michelle and I are so grateful for all your dedication and hard work over the years.
I got a little teary-eyed tonight thinking about my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.
his woman tried the $150 grocery method at Sam’s Club… and actually nailed it.
She went in with a clear breakdown — $60 protein, $30 veggies, $20 fruit, $15 carbs, $10 snacks, and $15 misc — and walked out spending just $150.59. She even ran back at the end to grab a rotisserie chicken because she still had a little room left in the budget.
It’s impressive how much food she got while staying right on target. This might be one of the better examples of the $150 grocery method I’ve seen.
Have you tried any version of the $150 grocery method before?
In 1998, I was fired from my corporate job while 9 months pregnant because and I quote, “my priorities would be elsewhere after the baby is born.”
The lawyer I hired told me I didn’t have a case because discrimination like “that” 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? She’s a brilliant attorney now working at my firm.
Turns out my priorities were indeed, elsewhere.
my aunt was actually killed because of this 😭
my late aunt was HIV positive and she was a hair dresser. all her clients knew her status and still chose her coz she was that good with hair. there was only one accident that happened and it scarred me til this day.
a client of hers had an sores on her head due to excessive scratching (removing dandruff) but they were not bad enough for her to not want to do her hair. she was getting her hair braided into cornrows using the needle method. the needle accidentally pricked my aunt but not in a significant way.
she didn’t notice that she had a slow bleed and proceeded to do the lady’s hair. fast forward weeks later, the woman confronts my aunt blaming her for infecting her and her boyfriend beating her up because he couldn’t believe that she wasn’t cheating. the lady stabbed my aunt to de@th in her home and proceeded to h*ng herself 💔💔💔
Why are they never doing this for dictators or child molesters or serial killers? Why voodoo never use on student loan forgiveness? Always stupid shit like this
