You are smooth ✊🏾 @ChiomaMelan

I did an interview yesterday and we were discussing the salary range. I accidentally gasped at what they were offering me because of how high it was and the hiring manager asked me if it was too low…… baby, immediately yes

[tarita preston @taritapreston]

This is hilarious. #dolphins

[The E.W. Scripps Co. @EWScrippsCo]

Most conversations that we term as “difficult” are ppl attempting to tell their truth tactfully, gracefully and without upset. Extremely hard to do if that wasn’t common in your household and no one taught you how.

[tarita preston @taritapreston]

I often get the described as “clear, direct, assertive”etc. I don’t mind being described this way, especially as a coach. What people are picking up on is I tell the truth.

I’d also say we are the generation taking a standing for healing, growth and releasing generational patterning. #itworksifyouworkit

@IssaRae said it best. Network ACROSS, not up.

Make films with your friends.
Make films with your coworkers.
Make films with your classmates.

'@TheAshJohnson was a brick wall in the gold medal match, but she wasn't alone.

Hear from the @USAWP goalkeeper after a dominant defensive performance.

[NBC Olympics & Paralympics @NBCOlympics]

Her voice has been as significant as her talents.

Her honesty as beautiful as the perfection that has long been her signature.

@taylorswift13 gets us ready to watch @simone_biles on the beam.

LOVE TO SEE IT

[Sandy Smith @iamsandysmith2]

@taritapreston Yes! @KnowMoneySteve did this with me when I was looking for sponsors for @Elevate_Money last year and @AngelaEMatthews had to coach me through a panic attack when I had to pitch with numbers that were double what I was comfy with. They cut a check for MORE than I asked. Tribe.

Woooowwwwww

[Angie Jones @techgirl1908]

this weekend I went on a girls trip. 10 Black women flying first class. People literally could not process how it was possible.

Staff tried to send us to regular lines. Passengers made snide remarks. One guy even yelled "are they a higher class of people than I am?!"

Stay mad.

Same goes for non profits run by women and POC who apply for grants. They always has for the bare minimum. I love the saying “let’s give them more money and tell them to dream bigger next time”

[Sandy Smith @iamsandysmith2]

I told her that I want her to feel that she is fairly compensated every day that she has to log into work. I have seen (especially) women and particularly professional women of color underprice and devalue our work so much just to get our feet in the door.

In other words, conservative parents are objecting to factual teachings of American history because they want their kids to think racism doesn’t exist https://t.co/JHAR2KEGcm

While we were still in the White House, I began sharing my summer favorites—and now, it’s become a little tradition that I look forward to sharing with you all. So here's this year's offering. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
