A LOT of MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES disappear when bills are paid, rent is secure, and the fridge is full. Peace is expensive. And pretending money doesn't affect mental health is privilege.
George E. Johnson built more than a hair care empire. He built proof that a $250 loan and the will to keep going can put a Black-owned company on the American Stock Exchange for the first time in history. That is the American dream, realized on our own terms. Afro Sheen. Ultra Sheen. Those weren't just products. They told us our hair, our look, our culture was worth celebrating. Mr. Johnson has passed at 99, but what he built keeps building. Rest in power.
If drug testing for marijuana wasn’t an obstacle we’d have a lot more people willing and able to work the jobs that need people or people don’t really want. Nursing , being a teacher, etc doesn’t mean smoke at work but how come everyone can drink wine after work but not smoke a joint 🤷
Drug tests are funny.
The guy doing fentanyl all weekend passes by Wednesday.
The guy who hit a joint at a barbecue three weeks ago is the one failing.
