I was searching for something the other day and I realized that I had no clue where it was. I live with my brother now so most of my things are stored in 2 closets in my bedroom. Admittedly, I’m not the most organized person in the world so it’s challenging. As I’m digging around in frustration (determined to find them), I’m asking myself “why … Continue reading Make a Bold Move: Release the Clutter
I was asked this question recently as I participated in a panel for the organization I work for, The Cara Program. The panel included an amazing group of women and focused on the theme, “Women, better together.” On the panel (surprisingly I wasn’t as nervous as I usually am, although there were over 100 women in the room) I shared my truth and reservations about … Continue reading Are You An Introvert?
It’s been several weeks since I’ve written a piece and I apologize for taking such a long hiatus. I’ve been dealing with personal issues close to my heart but I felt that it was important for me to check in. While I can’t share specifics due to privacy issues, it’s safe to say that it’s been a very challenging couple of months but one that … Continue reading Finding Life During Adversity

A few months ago I received a message from Lamar Tyler 1/2 of the married duo who’ve created the award winning site, http://www.blackandmarriedwithkids.com His message just reminded me to check my voice mail. … Continue reading And Then This Happened
I recently had a powerful conversation with a Bolder Sister exec at IBM. Although my interview with her was for another publication, I couldn’t help but borrow a few nuggets of wisdom she shared with me. She mentioned how she saw a need and filled it with Meetups and hands on workshops for the technology-challenged, during her 27-year career. This powerhouse didn’t wait for anyone … Continue reading What Exactly Are You Waiting For?
As women we are given a few of life’s most precious gifts. Motherhood, marriage and sisterhood are the areas of my life where I’m usually the most proud. The great thing about life as Bolder Sisters is that we are passionate enough to manage each of those roles and yet still savvy enough to run corporations. We’re more than just pretty faces, lipstick and heels. … Continue reading I am a Cara Woman
It’s so funny, I just shared this phrase with a group of adult students I help to prepare for jobs. I know how frustrating it can be waiting for “your turn” so to speak. Wondering when those successes, you see everyone else celebrating, are going to happen for you is overwhelming. Something I had to realize a few years ago is that I am here … Continue reading “Their Journey Isn’t Your Journey”
